Ep. 12:  Lessons from Texas

The February 2021 winter storm in Texas that left millions of people without power was a tragedy. Brian and Jeff discuss what happened to both electricity supply and demand in Texas leading up to, and during the crisis.

Examining what happened provides an opportunity to reflect on how we might prevent similar situations from happening in the future, especially as we may be become more reliant on a few sources of electricity.
