Live at MIT: The 2040 Grid

<p>This past week, we recorded a live show at the MIT Energy Conference.&nbsp;</p><p>The theme of the show: what the grid may look like by 2040.</p><p>As a topical show, we usually don’t know what we’re going to be discussing until a day or two in advance. But the theme of the MIT conference was "tough tech and the 2040 grid" — so we decided to take it head on.&nbsp;</p><p>To start, we’ll adjust our brains to the 2040 timeframe with some fantastical scenarios.</p><p>Then, we create our own plans. We will each outline a possible future for the 2040 time frame — Katherine will look at policy and politics, Jigar will look at the business environment, and Stephen looks at technology make-up.&nbsp;</p><p>Finally, a news circuit. We’ll provide some quick commentary on top stories of the day.</p><p>And we’ll end with our Free Electrons.&nbsp;</p>
