Fascinating TED Talk, as part of its “Countdown Dilemma” series, by civil engineer and environmental sociologist Emily Grubert in which she talks about the infrastructure challenges of moving to a world that is fully electric. What’s refreshing about the talk is that she isn’t just pointing us toward an electrified world without any regard for the implications and consequences of the shift. Rather, as befits a talk entitled, “What happens to gas stations when the world goes electric?,” she is very much focused on the dangers and opportunities inherent in the transition.
Since many retailers own gas stations and depend on them for sales and – in both senses of the word – traffic, I thought it was worth bringing attention to.
