Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Demand for electricity is expected to spike by some 40% in the next two decades. And experts warn blackouts and rolling brownouts aren’t far away if the grid is not significantly upgraded. With 40 billion dollars in the stimulus plan for a ‘new energy agenda,’ we hear what must be done to upgrade our distribution system and ensure it can support solar power, wind power, electric vehicle technology and other items coming online in the 21st century.
Guests
- Peter Behr Reporter, ClimateWire and E&E News; and former Washington Post energy reporter
- Steve Hauser Director of Market Development, GridPoint; Founder and President Emeritus, The GridWise Alliance
