Electric Futures

5.0/5

Critic Rating

Featured by the LA Times, La Opinión, and NPR! Electric Futures is an award-winning podcast series from the University of Southern California exploring lesser-known stories of the energy transition, from the perspectives of the people most impacted by the changes that transition will bring. In Season 2, former USC Provost and current professor Charles Zukoski explores community projects that generate and store their own energy, bypassing the electric grid – and blackouts. What happens now that federal support for these initiatives is starting to dry up? Can America still electrify?

"With the first season of Electric Futures, we have quite the living case study to wrap our heads around with California’s Imperial Valley...Electric Futures delivers a thorough examination of the societal, economic, and environmental nuances tied to the extraction of lithium. All the while, we’re encouraged to avoid repeating the mistakes we seem to always make and listen to the members of a community on the cusp of substantial change."
