This talk will use our electric bill as a ticket to tour our electric grid. Our electricity system is largely taken for granted but is foundational to how we operate as a society, how we adapt to changing power needs, and meet environmental challenges. We'll cover the physical system, its governance, finances, and its social aspects. We will end by looking at the grid of tomorrow.Bernard Pelletier, People's Action for Clean Energy, "PACE"
