When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The electrical grid also supports the efficient distribution of power and makes use of energy generated through renewable means like wind and solar.

And the work they’re doing brings California’s leading edge fight against global warming right into my neighborhood and into my home. With my interest in installing solar on my roof I’ve been closely watching their approach and frankly wishing my own city of Torrance was following their lead. Talk about a dichotomy.
