Description
Electricity demand in the United States is projected to skyrocket over
the next decade, partly because of the rising power needs of data
centers and electric vehicles. That poses big challenges for the power
grid. Today, host Catherine Morehouse sits down with Rob Gramlich,
founder and president of consulting firm Grid Strategies, to discuss
whether the grid can handle this surge in power demand — and what
happens if it can’t.
