The Climate Champions Podcast with Peter Fox-Penner

Listen now: Estimating our need for a power grid that’s 140-200% bigger than our current grid by 2050.

How big of a power grid do we need to electrify as much as possible as a climate solution? What will we use to make and store large amounts of carbon-free power? How do we distribute it?

The Climate Champions podcast talks with ISE Director Peter Fox-Penner, discussing everything from estimating our need for a power grid that’s 140-200% bigger than our current grid by 2050 to recounting his first days on the job at the DOE when the Clinton-Gore Administration released the first U.S. climate change action plan.
