Understanding the Electric Grid, Part 2
Season 2
Episode 3
The electric grid powers our cities and industry, workplaces, homes and increasingly, our cars. For that, we’ll need more electricity, and we’d like it to be lower carbon. Can we build national electric systems that are more extensive, more reliable and affordable, with less impact on the environment? Southern California Edison CEO, Steven Powell, and ERCOT CEO, Brad Jones, weigh in.
