KODIAK ALASKA - Power Surge

"How the second-busiest U.S. fishing port is powered by wind and water" PBS NewsHour 11/1/2017

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Kodiak, Alaska, is not only home to abundant fishing grounds, but also to one of the most innovative power grids in the country.  As the cost of diesel rose a decade ago, a local electric co-op decided to aim for 100 percent renewable energy by harnessing the wind and water.  Special correspondent Rachel Waldholz of Alaska Public Media reports on their engineering feat.  This report comes from Alaska's Energy Desk, a public media collaboration focused on energy and the environment.
