It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

Low-income and rural communities suffered the most, with some remaining without power for almost a year. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid. How can a microgrid help after a power outage? It’s a powerful example of how electricity and community resiliency are intertwined.
