Podcast Description
This Week in Energy (TWiE) is a podcast dedicated to demystifying home-brewed as well as grid-scale renewable and traditional energy generation solutions, electric vehicles, and smart-grid technologies such that everyone may participate - or even discover training and career opportunities - in the energy industry's emerging fundamental shift that we call the "Dot Energy Boom": the point where information technology (IT) intersects with buildings, transportation, and the electric grid.
