How can we protect our power systems in an era of climate extremes? In this episode, we unpack the role of smart grids in preventing blackouts—from microgrids and AI-driven optimization to wildfire risk models and hydrogen backups. We explore real case studies, like Victoria, Australia, and tackle key issues like grid stability, cybersecurity, and the rise of renewables disinformation. It’s a deep dive into the tech and strategy powering a more resilient energy future.
