Great!

Great book describing the history and problems with America’s transmission and distribution network. Also addresses current challenges with incorporating renewable energy into the grid A fantastic, informative read!

I am a retired system operator (electric) and I have never read a book that is able to truly describe the workings and problems of our electric grid like this book! Amazing!
