This interview podcast features Jason Huang discussing the urgent need to upgrade power grids. The podcast begins with an introduction by the host, Elise Hu, highlighting the timeliness of the topic given recent extreme weather events. Huang then details the limitations of current power line technology, explaining how his company, TS Conductor, has developed a superior conductor that triples line capacity and reduces line loss by 50%. He provides a real-world example of cost savings achieved using this new technology in a North Dakota project. Ultimately, Huang advocates for upgrading power grids with advanced conductors to facilitate renewable energy integration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
