The electrification of (almost) everything is coming, and we’re just not ready for it.

In total, according to a study from Princeton University, electrifying nearly all transport and buildings could contribute to doubling or more the amount of electricity used in the U.S. by 2050. 

If we’re going to rely much more on electricity, we need to know the grid isn’t going to break down. Right now, we don’t know that, even for today’s level of demand. 

Sections of today’s grid were built in the 1950s and 1960s and are approaching end-of-life conditions.
