By the end of this decade, the demand for energy in the U.S. is expected to spike as much as 20%. This raises the question: Can the grid keep up?

With demand surging over the next decade, there are growing, urgent questions about whether the system can keep up.

Now, the energy grid is vulnerable at a time when it's needed more than ever. The U.S. is experiencing extreme temperatures plus new demands like artificial intelligence, electric vehicles and an aging infrastructure — which together create a perfect storm for troubles. It was the first time in U.S. history a company pleaded guilty to homicide. For Pacific Gas and Electric, it wasn't the last time it faced charges for negligence.

Driving the surge in the near term is the rise in industrial and manufacturing facilities, data center growth and getting the power from where it's generated to homes and communities.
