Episode notes

The Interconnection Cube is the same obstacle that wind and solar projects all across the country are running into. Tonight on Fox, Gordon Ramsay is looking to personally invest $250,000 in one great food entrepreneur. Wrap up your week with a look at why you might need to bring home more bacon to afford your eggs.

Lyle Jack wants to build a wind farm on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. But to make the project work, he has to connect that wind farm to the electric grid. Which is easier said than done. On today's show - how the green energy revolution may live, or die, by bureaucrats trying to untangle a mess of wires.

This episode was produced by Willa Rubin. It was edited by Sally Helm, fact-checked by Sierra Juarez, and engineered by Katherine Silva. Jess Jiang is our acting executive producer.
