Hope you are feeling curious today! We have an episode today about one of my favorite topics - the Grid. And joining us today is a grid expert, Bhaskar Ray. Bhaskar is someone that I've known for a while and who has always helped me to learn how the grid works throughout my recruitment work. 

In today's discussion, we go over...

  • the history of the grid
  • basics about how the grid works
  • the major challenges facing the grid currently
  • some of the potential solutions going forward
  • Bhaskar's predictions on what will happen
  • the potential role of bitcoin mining with the grid
  • the future of energy storage
  • innovation in the utility space

And a whole lot more. 

We hope you enjoy today's episode as it is a super informative one if you're seeking to understand the basics of how the US power grid works.
