Description

As we generate more of our electricity from wind, sunlight, and other renewable sources, we place more strain on an electrical grid that wasn't designed for a net zero future. In the final episode of this season, we ask how we might reimagine our energy infrastructure, including the grid. We hear from experts in energy production and storage, and we learn about the future of global, community-led, and decentralised energy systems.
