What do California's wildfires reveal about the vulnerabilities in our energy infrastructure? In this episode, we talk about the devastating impact of the recent wildfires in California and how climate change is reshaping the way we think about energy systems. You'll learn about the urgent need for grid hardening and why the traditional centralized power systems might not be enough to handle the challenges ahead.
We explain the concept of decentralized energy systems, exploring how businesses and individuals can adapt to these changing conditions by investing in more resilient infrastructure. From the staggering costs of undergrounding power lines to the role of renewable energy in stabilizing costs, we provide insights into how to future-proof energy systems to not just survive but thrive in a rapidly changing world.
