Climate & Community 3/13/24: Energy Literacy Crash Course

Host: Corey McVay

 

Description: Ever wondered what exactly a “kilowatt-hour” actually is? This week, Climate & Community offers the first of several energy literacy “crash courses”.  This episode focuses on key terms and ideas related to electric power (measured in kilowatts), electric energy (measured in kilowatt-hours), and electricity demand. These terms are all discussed in the wider context of the clean energy transition.
