A 21st-century reinvention of the electric grid is crucial for solving the climate change crisis

Renewable Energy World

Hailed as the greatest invention of the 20th century , our now-aging grid was based on fundamental concepts that made sense at the time it was developed. The original foundation was a combination of “base load” coal plants that operated 24 hours a day and large-scale hydropower. Innovations that make 100% clean power possible.
