Grid Operator PJM Says 18,000 Megawatts of Power Are Going Offline

The video discusses the scheduled retirement of 18,000 megawatts of energy over the next five years and the potential to sustain up to 30,000 megawatts. It explores alternatives like alternative fuels and nuclear plants, and emphasizes the need for investment in energy storage and gas pipelines. The study highlights current vulnerabilities, such as limited on-site fuel storage, and stresses the importance of building infrastructure to ensure a reliable fuel supply.
