YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Solar energy is the fastest growing clean energy source in the U.S., compared to wind, water and nuclear power. As extreme temperatures from heat waves strain electric grids in the U.S., many parts of the country could face blackouts. Solar energy is a potential solution to protect the grid during extreme heat.

WSJ explores how solar power could be effective during this extreme heat while looking at some of the challenges solar energy presents like increasing climate waste and efficiency issues.
