In this episode of the SynMax Intelligence Podcast, Eric Anderson sits down with Alan Meck, Principal Market Design Analyst at PG&E, for a comprehensive deep dive into how California is navigating the transition to a fully renewable grid by 2045, and the political, technical, and structural challenges that stand in the way.

• Why nuclear is back on the table despite political baggage

• How California’s “RA” (Resource Adequacy) program emerged from the ashes of the early 2000s energy crisis

• Why economic withholding still haunts policy conversations across the West
