True Grid

We don’t think much of the physical nature of our electricity system, even though it’s all around us. To most of us it’s magic: flip a switch or twist a knob or press a button and the power is there. But we need to answer a lot of questions about the state of our grid: how we’ll upgrade it, how much it will cost, how we’ll pay for it, how we’ll keep it secure, and tons of others. Recommended book: “The Grid: The Fraying Wires Between Americans and Our Energy Future”, by Gretchen Bakke.
