power plays

Supposedly, your iPhone uses more electricity in a year than some refrigerators.  Do you know where your electricity comes from? And how much it costs? Most of us don't have a clue. But in the coming years we will find out, as the need for new power plants increases, along with a desire to keep them clean. I hope that solar and wind power will increase, but there are issues. Driving through New Hampshire over the weekend I saw cute signs on lawns opposing wind power. And then there's the little issue of our inability to store solar and wind power well, making it a difficult option for reinforcing the grid. Problems, problems, problems. But in every problem there is an opportunity. Let's find those and exploit them.
