Energy Efficiency Markets Podcast interviews Kurt Yeager, co-author of the new book "Perfect Power: How the Microgrid Revolution will Unleash Cleaner, Greener, More Abundant Energy." The electric transmission grid in the US is outdated and overloaded and is not sufficient for the addition of new, intermittent, renewable energy sources. He argues that we need to use smart technologies and implement new policies at the local and national level to solve this problem. His plan would put consumers in control of their energy usage.
