122 – Electrify Everything

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-f6u4q-1533297

How can we reach a world where energy generation is carbon free?  One solution being proposed is to electrify everything.

First it must be understood that electricity currently only accounts for about 1/3 or all the energy we use – the rest is used in transportation (oil products) and industry (primarily natural gas). 

So this two-step solution envisions an electrical grid composed of renewable generation – and all energy, for buildings, vehicles and industry – powered by this renewable grid.

Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of this vision – what are its goals and are those goal achievable?
