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!
