In THE RELIABILITY FRONTIER, Douglas Donovan traces how coal, natural gas, and nuclear power continue to anchor a system now being reshaped by explosive solar and wind growth, the sudden rise of utility-scale battery storage, and a demand surge unlike anything utilities have ever planned for: AI datacenters that can draw as much electricity as a mid-sized city.
YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- How utilities are racing to meet datacenter-driven demand through new generation, smarter transmission, and battery storage
- Why grid operators are rewriting emergency protocols to curtail large flexible loads—like datacenters with their own backup power—before residential neighborhoods ever lose electricity
- How small modular reactors and other emerging technologies could reshape the grid of the 2030s
- Why China's extraordinary pace of generation and transmission buildout should reshape how America plans for its own energy future
Clear, rigorously researched, and urgently relevant, THE RELIABILITY FRONTIER is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what it will really take to keep America's lights on in the age of AI.
