Episode 17: Repairing the electrical grid with Philip Wall

Driving along the road watching the power lines go by, we all probably too often take for granted the amazing electrical grid that makes our modern lives possible.  Without the instant access and 24/7 reliability that it provides, our lives would be drastically different.

Philip Wall is a former lineman and has a unique understanding of and first-hand experience with maintaining the grid’s infrastructure as well as what it takes to rebuild after a catastrophic storm.
