What Makes The U.S. Power Grid So Vulnerable To Blackouts?

The video discusses the evolution of the US electric grid from its inception in 1885 to its current state, highlighting the challenges it faces today. The grid, once a marvel of engineering, is now aging and less reliable, with frequent outages and infrastructure issues. Climate change exacerbates these problems, leading to more blackouts. The transition to renewable energy sources like solar and wind presents new challenges, as these are less predictable and harder to manage. The video emphasizes the need for modernization and adaptation to ensure a reliable power supply in the future.
