Our Ever Changing World, Sam Mills
Did you ever think that you may not need to own a car or even need a driver’s license? At some point in the future you will most likely be able to simply summon a driverless car on your phone or other device and it will appear in front of you to take you where you want to go.
Would any of us think that there would be a time when renewable energy would be such a large percentage of overall generation that it would be curtailed? Well it happened. The growing solar generation in the California ISO has created just such a scenario. CAISO curtailed 80 GWh of renewable energy in March.
This is how our world is changing and sometimes it is hard to keep up with and some things may be hard to accept. The time may not be too far away when homes are no longer connected to the electrical grid. It may sound like a movie but think about the advancements in storage technology, solar technology, and nuclear generation in a suitcase, it may be right around the corner.
I can imagine our great grandkids or even our grandkids not needing a driver’s license or an electric meter on their homes. It will be really cool and I hope I am around to see it.
