In Power With Nowhere to Go, an episode of Digest This: Unpacking Our Sustainable Future, Nick and Emily explore renewable energy curtailment, grid congestion, and the challenge of matching available power with demand. Beginning with Britain’s wind power constraints, they debate the roles of transmission investment, upgrades to existing power lines, battery storage, flexible data center workloads, and regional electricity pricing.

 

The conversation also examines how renewable natural gas (RNG) and biogas can complement wind and solar, with applications in industrial heat, transportation, and power generation. For farms, food processors, distilleries, and other organizations managing organic waste, the episode connects energy planning with potential feedstock opportunities and operational resilience.
