Episode #52: Shorting the Grid

This episode’s guest is Meredith Angwin the author of the book Shorting the Grid. I’m also excited to announce that I am giving away 5 signed copies of her book to people that like and share this episode (on Twitter or LinkedIn) as well as are subscribed to the Talk Energy Podcast YouTube channel. I will be putting the names in a hat and randomly selecting the winners a week from today (3/1/22).

This episode we discuss the basics of the US electrical grid. We talk about how government policies are distorting grid investment decisions and causing rampant inefficiencies. Lastly, we discuss how intermittent energy providers like wind and solar are increasingly introducing fragility to our infrastructure and putting us at risk for catastrophic failure to one of the most vital systems to humanity, the grid.
