Power Blackout in Colombia
There was a nationwide (almost 80%) power blackout in Colombia yesterday. Reports from BBC and CNN indicate that the epicenter was a technical glitch in a substation in Bogota. It will be interesting when the post-mortem results come out.
I’m passionate and curious about change - these days I am trying to learn and understand changing patterns in energy production, distribution, and consumption: depleting oil reserves, climate change, geo-political events, globalization, nuclear threats and opportunities; how technology, internet, and satellite communications can interact to prevent large scale blackouts; how financial and energy markets can work together to bring energy and prosperity to more people; and how lawyers, engineers, and economists can and are breaking walled silos to create a better energy future for everyone.
And yes! I speak with an accent
