I have been quite busy in the past week, getting ready for the launch of my four-week course about the grid, The Grid: What Your Electricity Bill Won't Tell You. The course begins at OSHER at Dartmouth, Tuesday, April 19. Here is the course catalog description.
And here is a slide from my Tuesday April 19 presentation.
The Guest Speakers
I don't know why everything is taking me so much time! I have two great guest speakers, and we are taking a field trip to ISO-NE headquarters the last day of the course. With all this help, it should be easy-peasy for me to get ready for the course. Right? Okay. It's hard.
The guest speakers:
Howard Shaffer was a startup engineer on a major pumped storage project. He will speak on the first day, about the physical grid. Here is Shaffer's post about the difference between supplying power and paying for power. Where's the Magic Switch?
Christine Hallquist, CEO of Vermont Electric Cooperative, will speak on controversies on the grid. Here is Hallquist's recent op-ed at VTDigger: Pricing Renewable Energy Right.
Videotape
The course will be videotaped for CATV8 community TV, and it will also be on-line. I will put links to the videos in some later blog posts. (In other words, I will be videotaped three times, and I haven't got a thing to wear.)
