Grid Connectivity: Invest in Alternative Energy's Missing Link

Horses for courses. The mix of production, storage and distribution will be based on local (right down to the residence/business) needs and local solutions. If local solutions are exceded by needs, then the optimized grid will be needed, as well. That means opportunity for all, including non-renewables for a significant generational transition period.

A Very Smart Plan for Federal Smart Grid Grants

Are the alternatives "build it and they will come" or "legislate it and it will appear?" Who cares? Trade the enthusiasm as it waxes and wanes.

Alternative Energy Storage Is an Investment Tsunami

Don't know if JPs posit of an either/or trade off in transportation modes is accurate but the underlying assault on our sense of entitlement hubris is on point. Even if most, if not all, modes of energy production/harvesting, storage, distribution and final user options are employed they will require a retrenchment of our expectations for the status quo in our relative profligacy. This is not a call for hair shirts, however, just for a broader view of future demand and supply.
