Could We Have More Blackouts With a Greener Grid?
Season 3
Episode 14
Climate scientists are clear that we need to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And in order to do this, we’re going to need to electrify everything and green the grid. But what will this clean, green future look like? Can we pull off this massive transition in time before some seriously dire tipping points are reached?
