Do you really know how the US power grid works?
The easy answer is that it is our fundamental power infrastructure, which supplies electricity for everything from household lights and refrigerators to the internet, data centers, and hospitals. But go deeper, and one ends up quickly in a jumble of regulatory authorities, utilities, wires, power plants, early-20th-century technologies, and cutting-edge science – as well as big questions about what power and life should look like in the 21st century.
I guess "early-20th-century technologies" are not "cutting-edge science" to these guys. Here, in New England, I'm pretty sure we're still using the same wires the Pilgrims hung on poles.
