Manage episode 418941216 series 3567436
If you’ve opened the Nextdoor app recently, you know people aren’t very happy about their rising electricity bills. California is at the forefront of a big energy transition– something that’s affecting every San Franciscian, and the change is only just starting to accelerate. Join us as we dig into what’s happening, the growing consequences, and why history feels like it’s repeating itself.
Also, in a fun detour, we open the chat with some history of Bay Breakers and how the world fair in 1915 was somehow simultaneously innovative but also unbelievably unhinged.
