About the episode

Over the next five years, electric power demand in the U.S. will increase five times faster than we thought it would in 2022, a new report says. Can the grid take it? Probably — it won’t be the first time demand for electricity has made a major leap. Also in this episode: An influencer sues a “copycat,” consumers overestimate inflation but think it will fall eventually and ad industry evolution triggers a merger of rivals.
