Making Cents Out of Watts: What’s Driving Up Your Energy Bills?
A third of Americans say that they've skipped food, medicine, or something else to be able to afford their energy bills. Much of the increase in the cost of electricity is driven by rising demand from artificial intelligence and data centers, industrial onshoring and hotter temperatures.
How does your electricity bill get calculated, and who’s in charge of setting those rates? Does public power serve consumers better than investor-owned utilities? And will rising electricity prices dampen the transition to cleaner sources of energy?
Guests:
Shelley Welton, Professor of Law and Energy Policy, University of Pennsylvania
Severin Borenstein, Professor, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley
Kevin Miller, Reporter, Maine Public Radio
On March 24, Google’s Chief Sustainability Officer Kate Brandt and Irina Raicu, Director of the Internet Ethics Program at the Markkula Center, will speak with Climate One about the development of sustainably powered artificial intelligence. Tickets are on sale through our website.
