More and more, Texans have wondered why 'the energy state' can't deliver reliable electricity. Renewable advocates say the solution could be batteries that store power from solar and wind. In this episode of Y’all-itics, Doug Lewin, founder of Stoic Energy, a clean energy consulting firm, discusses how batteries are increasingly propping up the grid and lowering energy costs. And he explains how microgrids with solar, batteries and natural gas could have made a huge difference after Hurricane Beryl…and how your own home could even be part of the solution. But Lewin has big concerns about the upcoming election and the next Texas legislative season. Guest: Doug Lewin, Founder/Stoic Energy Consulting
