Description

The global energy crisis, greener energy, and the expansion of renewables (and those high electric bills) are many of the reasons electricity grids are making headlines. Research firm BloombergNEF estimates that demand for electricity will increase by 60 percent by 2050. What does this mean for policymakers and market influencers? Chiara Lo Prete, associate professor at the Penn State College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, joins Doorstep co-hosts Nick Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin to explain our cross-border electric grid connections and the need to re-frame global geopolitical risks with these grids in mind. How can we create robust electricity foreign policy? Can we move forward with a global energy grid? What is China's role in driving change? For more, please go to carnegiecouncil.org.
