    The Grid is a Care System
    2026/05/07

    On this episode of Demand Utopia: A Solarpunk Podcast from Solarpunk Magazine, host Justine Norton-Kertson discusses power outages as a matter of life and death for millions of people who rely on electricity to power their medical devices, making the case that we should understand the electric grid as a care system and build collective systems of support rather than relying on personal preparedness.
