Luncheon with Jason Huang, CEO of TS Conductor
The power grid needs upgrading and Jason Huang has a relatively cheap way to do it. Jason Huang is the CEO of TS Conductor a company making high-capacity power lines. “Reconductoring” with high-performance wires could roughly double the capacity of America’s grid. Because upgrades cost less than new lines, electricity costs would be lower, too, the researchers found. Come for lunch and conversation on engineering and business for a sustainable future!
Location is currently TBD.
