Description
Welcome to Corrections (and Clarifications) Corner, where we focus on topics from previous episodes! Today it's definitely more of a clarifications corner. We start off with some talk about energy storage being centralized in few locations vs distributed to many locations, chat a little about duck curves and Nessie curves, and then move on to addressing the bipartisan-ness of the push towards renewable energy. Hope takes us on a winding detour about different ways to implement revenue-neutral carbon taxes (... sorry), Ana explains how not to write bad survey questions, and finally we wrap it all up by still being better people than Thomas Edison. From here on out, we'll be including corrections corner at the end of full episodes.
