Would your lights be among the first to go if we were overrun by the living dead?
Scott Benson, LES manager, Resource & Transmission Planning, and Marc Shkolnick, manager, Energy Services, will answer that question in their talk “Power (Or Lack Thereof) in a Zombie Apocalypse,” on November 6 at 7:00 pm in the Peterson Room, Love Library South (Room LS221). They will review how Hollywood sometimes depicts energy generation and usage in a post-apocalyptic world. The talk will also consider how does our electric grid operate today and how would that change in a zombie apocalypse?
