Episode notes
Can the grid power AI's future?
Join host Nick Schutt on Robots and Red Tape as he chats with Harry Munroe, IBM quantum ambassador and energy expert. Harry explains the U.S.'s three fragmented grids, real-time supply-demand balancing, and massive data center demands (up to terawatt-hours yearly). Discover quantum's role in batteries/solar and grid modernization challenges. A must-listen for tech and energy pros!
*Three U.S. grids: West, East, Texas (ERCOT)
*Real-time electron matching;
*60Hz stability Data centers = small city power (100MW+)
*Quantum for materials, optimization
