KQED public radio is broadcasting a Commonwealth Club discussion on the California electrical utility structure and the need for change due to local generation and EV use. I imagine that there will be an archive soon, or you can listen live to their stream at kqed.org. Starts at 8pm PST tonight.

People Power Rethinking Electricity
How will electric utilities adapt to a world of distributed generation and choice among formerly captive customers? Will utilities become a combination of eBay and UPS, shuttling electrons between many buyers and sellers? How will electric vehicles, renewables and smart meters fit into the equation? What policy and infrastructure changes will be required for mass adoption of electric vehicles? Join a conversation with leading lights rethinking the way California generates and uses electricity. Guests include: Dian Grueneich, commissioner for the California Public Utilities Commission; Ted Craver, chairman and CEO of Edison International (Southern California Edison); and Ted Howes, partner at IDEO.
