(Almost) Everything you Need to Know About Electricity

A Four-Part Series on the US Electrical Grid

Note: Part 1 of this series was cross-published in July 2024

Understanding the basics of electricity generation, distribution, purchasing, greenhouse gas emissions, and the utility grids is key to understanding how we change these systems to keep our global commitment and meet the Paris Climate Accord.

Thanks to our colleagues at Brightworks for sharing their series that will go into the “why” for each of these topics as they are covered.
