Science Behind Timing Electricity Use for a Carbon-Free Future

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains that scientists are studying how to optimize electricity usage by identifying the best times to consume power. Research highlights the challenges of managing demand peaks, balancing supply, and moving toward carbon-free electricity by 2035. While the science is complex, McIntyre notes that convincing utilities to adopt stricter regulations may be an even greater hurdle.
