Damian Sciano came by the Messy Times studios to share hisdeep experience in utility operations and the real-world trade-offs that politicians ignore when it comes to various forms of power generation.

By the nature of the show - and its Host - we tend to havesome very political discussions on Messy Times - this is NOT one of those discussions.

If our policy makers - and voters - could approach theseissues with the same degree of calm objectivity as does Damian, I think we'd have a more resilient power grid, at lower cost and optimized levels of emissions.

Grab a beverage and have a listen! You are asked to voteconstantly based on wild assertions - this is a wonderful chance to get a lot smarter about the reality of power generation and transmission.
