$6 Gas in Texas by Labor Day?

Think you’re paying a lot for gas this July 4th holiday? As hard as it is to believe, you should actually enjoy it now, because you’ll likely be buying $6 gas by the time the next federal holiday rolls around. Many experts believe these skyrocketing gas prices will only accelerate the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. But that could lead to huge problems in Texas. Experts says the power grid in our state is in no way ready for EVs to comprise the bulk of our fleet, much less EV charging stations every 50-miles. In fact, the Energy Fellow at the University of Houston tells us in this episode of Y’all-itics, your neighborhood transformer might not even be ready for a few extra EVs on your block. And he explains why you’ll paying so much for gas.GuestsEd Hirs, UH Energy Fellow/Energy Economics ProfessorJennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy
