The Electrical Grid


Listen Later

The modern world runs on electricity. That isn’t a throwaway statement. If we take away electricity, our modern civilization will quickly fall apart.

The power that runs the modern world is dependent on a very technical, and in some cases very fragile, network of electrical generation, transmission, and consumption. 

These electrical networks can be as small as a city or as large as a continent. 

Learn more about the electrical grid, how it works and how may change in the future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
