Building a Better Electric Grid, for a Better California


PG&E is currently working to modernize and make this revolutionary machine better. This device is able to knit together constantly changing power flows from the sun and wind, and balance them with reserves stored in giant batteries, electric vehicles, even water. This will enable all of the latest high-tech innovations for people, while also providing reliable electricity for people. This is called the electric grid. It is making a difference in the way we energize our modern lives, as well as helping the state deliver a cleaner, more sustainable future. Nearly 70% of the electricity on PG&E's grid is now greenhouse gas free, making our energy among the cleanest in the nation. Now, we must connect this with markets allowing them to grow.

Questions:
1. Do you think this is a good way to conserve or make energy cleaner?
2. Do you think this is too similar to solar panels?
3. Is this a good source of reliable energy?

  1. I believe it's a good way to make our energy cleaner because it's renewable and efficient. The technique is similar to solar panels, but there's nothing wrong with it being similar. It provides us another way of obtaining energy cleanly, and we should look into it more.

  2. I think this is a massive step from a company who has already monopolized the electricity industry. I think that any way to make the production of electricity more sustainable is a good step.

  4. I think this is a good way to conserve energy because it is renewable. I do think it is similar to solar panels, but I don't think that is a problem. Solar panels are a good source of energy and I think it is good to have a similar alternative.

  5. I think this is a good way to make energy cleaner and is a good way to conserve because it is renewable. I think it is similar but in our world today many people are converting to electric cars which use rechargeable batteries. I believe that solar panels are a good source for reliable energy because it is using nature as a source that also doesn't harm the planet which is a plus.

  6. I believe that this is a good way on conserving energy because of the fact it is renewable. Eventthough it may be similar to solar panels, it is a different way of clean energy. Being natural is very important and is what makes this good to use.

  7. I believe that doing this is a huge step for a company that has already monopolized the electric industry. If they are able to make this source more of a priority, then it can become much more reliable.

  8. Renewable energies only account for a percentage less than 10% of the nation's power, but starting here with PG and E, with its power supply monopoly, actually taking steps to help curb our pollutant output is what we needed in time. Taking this in stride, helping to streamline these different power types will help it become more efficient and widely used.

  9. If it helps the environment while providing the same amount of energy then I am all for it. I am pretty sure this is exactly solar panels. I had always believed that PG&E was a reliable source of energy.

  15. This is a good way to conserve energy since we will not be using as much resources. It doesn't matter if it's similar to solar panels or not, either way we are saving the earth slowly. It is definitely a good resource.

  16. I think its a great way to make reliable energy that is efficient and cleaner than many of the energy resources that we are using now. I also find it quite astounding that they are even saving energy right now.

  17. Solar and wind energy is the future of our world because environmental protection is essential for the prevention of further global warming. For example, the latest hail in San Mateo shows that the environment needs our care, or else we may face a greater wrath of nature.

  19. I think it's a great way to conserve some energy.It can have some similarities to the solar panel but I wouldn't say it's the exact same thing

  20. I think this is a good way to conserve/make energy cleaner. It may be a bit similar to solar panels, but if it works and is accessible, and people would use it, then it seems fine. I think it's a good source of reliable energy.

  22. any way to increase energy efficiency (without compromising safety or reliability) is a step in the right direction. increased energy efficiency = more energy to use for other exploits

  30. I think it will be a costly project that may not be very efficent in the begining. With modifications to the problems, this idea will be very effective. There is only one way to know if it is effective or not. Try it.
