Can the Grid Handle the Transition to Electric Energy?

The transition to wind and solar electricity presents a daunting challenge, requiring significant new transmission lines and battery storage. This must occur as storms and heat waves intensify and become more frequent.

Physicist Sascha von Meier, an electric grid specialist, believes this transition is feasible. However, communities must simultaneously prepare to protect people as climate change accelerates.
