Energy and Our Future

We are at the turning point of history. On one hand, people and nature live in a well-balanced world. On the other hand, there is a crazy world of confusion and confusion when the power of nature fights the need for our civilization. In areas experiencing economic expansion, the global expansion of the population and the trend of urbanization leads to more people who rely directly on carbon-based resources and services. As the economies of many states around the world grow, demand for these services will also increase.

In the times of contemporary civilization, it is absolutely ridiculous to think of living without electricity. For individuals and groups, it is the only way to save energy and secure the safety of young people.

Today, the energy system offers many possibilities not seen before. Since the energy system is constantly changing, we must pay attention to how we use and process energy. In the future, electricity becomes the most important and important energy form, and how we use it is indispensable to our daily lives. Electricity is predicted to increase significantly, it will be the most important energy source in the 21st century. In addition, many people think that the key to coping with climate change is to replace combustion and combustion with electricity. Therefore, experts are already talking about "change of electricity" and "electric energy field".

Our grid was once a miracle of engineering, but today is the Achilles tendon of energy efficiency. Professor Gretchen Bakke of McGill University explains why in her book "Grid: Branch Line between Americans and the Future of Our Energy". She is a former scholar of social science at Wesleyan University and has a doctorate. Cultural anthropology of the University of Chicago. In this interview, Mr. Bakke shared the way our grid became today's grid and provided interesting insights about technology, personality, and policy. In the process she explains all the interesting ways and energy future that innovators help us reconsider.
