In Episode 2 Kiler Davenport pulls apart the numbers behind America's coming electricity crisis — who is building the new power plants, who is paying for them, why your residential bill has climbed nearly 30% since 2021, and what the sealed contracts between Big Tech and your utility company are hiding from you.
