Having just founded Always On Energy Research, Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling -experts on power generation and our creaky grids - joined us to give us their unique perspectives on America's electricity situation. They publish routinely on the subject on their Substack, "Energy Bad Boys."
Isaac is the VP of Research and Mitch is the Director of Research at their new outfit, and they bring incredible depth to this critical discussion. Here are some highlights:
7:00 - why the levelized cost of electricity measure is misleading
10:50 - MISO and the shutdown of its coal-fired power plants
16:45 - the closure of the Metal Technologies Northern Foundry in Hibbing, Minnesota, because of high electricity prices
19:00 - our need to build reliable power generating plants, particularly nuclear
Tune in and learn a whole lot more about this vital topic!
