Damian Sciano came by the Messy Times studios to share hisdeep experience in utility operations and the real-world trade-offs that politicians ignore when it comes to various forms of power generation.
By the nature of the show - and its Host - we tend to havesome very political discussions on Messy Times - this is NOT one of those discussions.
If our policy makers - and voters - could approach theseissues with the same degree of calm objectivity as does Damian, I think we'd have a more resilient power grid, at lower cost and optimized levels of emissions.
Grab a beverage and have a listen! You are asked to voteconstantly based on wild assertions - this is a wonderful chance to get a lot smarter about the reality of power generation and transmission.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
