The Grid: Electrical Infrastructure for a New Era by Gretchen Bakke

3.0

A good book about the fraying grid and future-possible grid in America. It isn’t necessarily earth shattering, but is eye opening. 3 stars because I think it is in need of an update or second edition now, is a bit repetitive, and I think the book is a little too harsh on nuclear. While I think a fully decentralized grid and virtual power plants would be great, I can’t help but feel it is unlikely to happen with current energy policy in America. However, it doesn’t hurt to dream!
