Everyone talks about the grid, but how many people actually understand how it works?

In this explainer, a16z Partner Ryan McEntush breaks down this increasingly complex system, including its often outdated infrastructure, surging demands due to exponential technologies, and the roles that each part of the energy mix can play now and into the future – from nuclear to renewables to natural gas, and storage mechanisms like hydro and batteries.
