How to make a more resilient grid- UT Researcher

What is happening? Joshua Rhodes at the University of Texas at Austin says grid resiliency has 2 steps: Build things + Manage things differently.

Why is this important? The building portion he says is batteries to store wind and solar power, plus, reliable sources of power, like geothermal and nuclear. On the manage things differently, he says the answers are incentivizing lower energy use.

How will this be important? Weather extremes are par for the course, and whether grids can withstand these extremes is a continuing concern.
