Podcast on Puerto Rico post Maria featuring AES

I found Green Tech Media's website/blog a few weeks ago and am finding it very interesting. Its focus is a bit more on solar and batteries than I would really like. They have their place but I think cogeneration may be a better solution for many reasons.

AES is a large US builder/operator of power plants around the world, including the 454MW coal plant in Guayama. Their corporate team did a very good set of recommendations to the PR Energy Commission that I had linked to in a previous post here.

In their Interchange podcast, they interviewed Chris Shelton, the chief technology officer at AES about the plan. Fascinating throughout.
