I got to talk about my research on how to manage the gas transition and build out clean energy infrastructure on the energy podcast, Volts. You can check out the podcast on your favorite app or view the transcript and listen to the show here.

What we have right now is this top-heavy system. It’s like this spinning top that has started to wobble and it’s the inertia of the past that’s keeping it going. But we have too much investment up top and not enough utilization at the bottom. That’s going to continue to wobble. Once the momentum runs out, the costs aren’t going to disappear. Instead, the people left on the system the longest are going to be shouldering those accelerating costs. That’s the importance of managing the transition so it doesn’t happen that way.
