| 12/10/24 | How Electricity Load Growth May Complicate the Energy Transition - Episode 107 | Let us know how we're doing - text us feedback or thoughts on episode content Since the 1990's, electricity demand has remained relatively flat despite the economic growth of the country. But as increased electrification and demand for new data centers intensifies, that demand for new power is changing. Utilities are having to adapt to market conditions that demand faster, more flexible additions of power capacity to the grid. But changing existing utility processes and models is tougher tha... | 6m 59s | ||||||

(Jan Rosenow - Regulatory Assistance Project) - Episode 105 | Let us know how we're doing - text us feedback or thoughts on episode content With millions of miles of gas distribution pipelines under our feet, the transition away from gas and toward electrification needs to account for that existing infrastructure somehow. And that comes with risks, not only to gas distribution companies but to their customers as well. Understanding, anticipating and managing these risks is a vital part of a safe, equitable transition. To discuss this topic, Paul is joi... | 8m 52s | ||||||

For some systems, this may be intuitive, such as in the need to develop the ecosystem of supporting infrastructure for EVs. But other interconnected, dependent systems are more nuanced and reflect the challenges po... | 7m 55s | ||||||

And that organic matter contributes about 10% of our global emissions each year. Getting a hold on our food waste is a big issue and a huge opportunity, not only for climate action but also in economic terms. In this episode, Paul breaks down the different points in the food value chain where spoilage a... | 7m 27s | ||||||
