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.

First, nationwide transmission allows power-sharing across regions facing widely different weather systems that drive variation in wind and solar generation. All of these benefits can be captured with solar, wind, existing hydropower and lithium-ion battery technologies at projected 2030 prices, he added.
