The Reliability Paradox in the Electricity Grid
59:52 - 1:03:39 (03:46)
The push to replace reliable power plants with unreliable ones like solar, wind and batteries can jeopardize the reliability and safety of the electricity grid, costing more than is necessary for infrastructure updates while introducing possible blackouts when the demand exceeds supply.
