Jeremy and Blake talk about the EPA mandating that in 2030 50% of vehicles sold will have to be EV's. How is that possible? How can you mandate that? Dominion talks about a flexible approach to trenchless construction in difficult terrain. Blakes learns what directional boring is. They talk about the "Big Wires Act" and how it will allow states to interconnect and share the load. Wind and solar is not dispatchable so it needs a cushion of supply to use as needed in peak demand. The problem is the price it will cost to have and maintain the batteries that are needed. They are predicting 435 billion a year!

We talk about how weather dictates the outcome of some tests in the field. You can get the values to change with just using a heat gun on the part you are testing. Why do we even test bushings? What do they use that data for? We go over some recent substation explosions that made the news in Utah and New York. What would be an acceptable time for a power outage to be considered "just a flicker"? It was just a flicker, no big deal!

This is a quick episode. We introduce a new co-host. Blake too much going on traveling with work to co-host as much as he has been. We hope he comes back to give us updates on his career in the future. Now we have Paul and are happy he is able to step in and help us out. He has a lot of experience in this industry and can bring a lot of knowledge to the table. We go over our Easter traditions. We hope you had a great weekend and a safe upcoming week.
