John Podesta: ‘We Need a Lot of Power’ and ‘We Need It To Be Zero-Carbon’

ELIPERIN The Post has ░░░░░░░░ on how the AI ░░░░░░░░ and the rise in ░░░░░░░░ tech manufacturing are pushing ░░░░░░░░ s power grid to ░░░░░░░░ brink So should conditions ░░░░░░░░ put on some of ░░░░░░░░ operations given that they ░░░░░░░░ to undermine the U ░░░░░░░░ climate goals PODESTA Look ░░░░░░░░ think you know it ░░░░░░░░ t seem to me ░░░░░░░░ that s the way ░░░░░░░░ approach this problem ELIPERIN ░░░░░░░░ hmm PODESTA I think ░░░░░░░░ has significant applications that ░░░░░░░░ help on the on ░░░░░░░░ the climate front It ░░░░░░░░ has significant concerns and ░░░░░░░░ president s addressed some ░░░░░░░░ those in terms of ░░░░░░░░ and etc But I ░░░░░░░░ that the promise of ░░░░░░░░ this out is generally ░░░░░░░░ thing for the United ░░░░░░░░ but we have to ░░░░░░░░ the power resources to ░░░░░░░░ it That s putting ░░░░░░░░ pressure on utilities to ░░░░░░░░ things like advanced reconductoring ░░░░░░░░ existing power sector lines ░░░░░░░░ be able to have ░░░░░░░░ the Federal Energy Regulatory ░░░░░░░░ last fall put some ░░░░░░░░ rules out to deal ░░░░░░░░ the problems of interconnection ░░░░░░░░ getting renewable resources tied ░░░░░░░░ the grid that s ░░░░░░░░ the process there other ░░░░░░░░ are looking that around ░░░░░░░░ country But there s ░░░░░░░░ question we re going ░░░░░░░░ have to build a ░░░░░░░░ of clean power in ░░░░░░░░ U S There s ░░░░░░░░ place and we re ░░░░░░░░ in small modular and ░░░░░░░░ reactors So that s ░░░░░░░░ moving forward again And ░░░░░░░░ we need a lot ░░░░░░░░ power We need it ░░░░░░░░ be clean We need ░░░░░░░░ to be zero carbon ░░░░░░░░ we need a lot ░░░░░░░░ transmission capacity to move ░░░░░░░░ power to the applications.”
