Description

This is a partner podcast episode, brought to you by Intersect Power.
The U.S. grid is in trouble. It's old; it's really hard to build new transmission lines; and that is limiting the amount of wind and solar we can add to the system.
Sheldon Kimber, Founder and CEO of the clean energy developer Intersect Power, says the grid is “broken.” But he has a plan to get around those constraints. 
In this episode, produced in partnership with Intersect Power, Sheldon Kimber talks with Stephen Lacey about creative strategies for building renewables that don't rely on overhauling the grid. 
If you want to read more about Sheldon's vision on how this strategy will play out, he has an op-ed published at Latitude Media.
