About this listen

Grid insiders know how fragile the grid is becoming. Unfortunately, they have no incentive to solve the problem because near-misses increase their profits. Meredith Angwin describes how closed meetings, arcane auction rules, and five-minute planning horizons will topple the reliability of our electric grid. Shorting the Grid shines light on the vulnerabilities of our grid, and includes suggestions for making the grid more dependable.

Shorting the Grid" offers a deep dive into the complexities of the electrical grid and the challenges it faces. The book is well-researched and provides valuable insights into the energy sector, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of power distribution. However, the narration leaves much to be desired. The delivery is monotonous and fails to engage the listener, detracting from the overall experience. Despite this, the book's informative content makes it worth the effort. If you can overlook the lackluster narration, the knowledge gained is rewarding.
