Every day, we hear debates about energy—should we rely on coal, nuclear, gas, or renewables? But what no one is discussing is the backbone of it all: the power grid. With demand skyrocketing, prices climbing, and outages increasing, the latest report from the American Society of Civil Engineers reveals some alarming truths about our aging infrastructure.

In this episode, we break down the key findings of the 2025 Infrastructure Report Card, focusing on energy. We discuss why the U.S. power grid received a D+ rating, the economic and security implications of failing infrastructure, and the rising costs consumers are facing. Plus, we explore potential solutions, including on-site energy and grid modernization. If you want to understand how the energy crisis affects you and what can be done about it, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:

• Why the U.S. power grid was rated D+ in the latest Infrastructure Report Card.
• The impact of outdated transmission and distribution systems on energy reliability.
• How increasing energy demand is outpacing grid capacity.
• The economic consequences of failing infrastructure and rising energy costs.
• The role of renewables and gas plants in meeting future power needs.
• Why replacing aging transformers is becoming a critical challenge.
• How energy failures in other countries foreshadow potential U.S. risks.
• The growing importance of energy resilience for businesses.
• The potential of on-site energy solutions to bypass grid weaknesses.
• How policy and investment can help modernize the power grid.
