No one ever said regulatory meetings, no matter what the type, are what you would call entertaining. Dry and not particularly fast-moving, it’s the information inside these meetings that are important whether it’s ERCOT or a Public Utility Commission meeting. Enter Jim Curtin, Chief Product Officer of Grid Monitor. No he doesn’t make the meetings exciting, but what he and his do is make the widely available information in the meetings - widely accessible - and saves the user TIME with a data

What jumps out about the Zero Emission Transportation web site - aside from it’s sparkling appearance and seamless user experience, is the headline that ZETA is pushing for 100 percent EV sales by 2030.

And what I got - and what you’ll hear - is an EV education from Mr. Britton. An expert in the field, Britton

And better yet, what role does a deregulated market play in what happened 18 months and have things improved at all with the sweltering temperatures cooking the state? It’s too much to answer in one podcast episode, so I sought out Nate Richards,
