Re:WIRED GREEN 2022: Going Electric Isn’t Enough—We Need a Clean Resilient Energy Grid to Run It
Patricia Hidalgo-Gonzalez, assistant professor at UC San Diego, discusses our electrical grid and the goal of “making everything electric” to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. But that in itself is not enough, she says. Our goal must be to build resilient energy systems that can operate sustainably and incorporate clean energy solutions. She starts by discussing what we can do today, then takes us forward into what a clean, resilient grid might look like decades from now.
