Energy Tradeoffs Podcast #7 – Michael Wara

In this week’s EnergyTradeoffs.com podcast interview, Stanford’s Michael Wara talks with David Spence about his research on “California’s Energy Transition—Decarbonization & Decentralization.”

Michael discusses the necessary tradeoffs in meeting California’s varied goals for its energy grid: the challenges of moving away from gas power plants and increasing rooftop solar and different ways to meet those challenges while limiting the costs borne by low-income ratepayers.

The interview builds on Michael’s 2017 article in the NYU Environmental Law Journal, which is titled “Competition at the Grid Edge:  Innovation and Antitrust in the Electricity Sector.”
