The energy grid in the U.S., particularly in regions like California, is facing significant challenges with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and increased air conditioning usage due to longer periods of high temperatures. These factors, along with the electrification of appliances and industries, are straining an already fragile grid and posing wildfire risks, with over 85% of California's wildfires historically caused by power line malfunctions. The article highlights the inefficiencies of the current centralized grid model, tracing it back to the 19th century debate between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. It discusses how the grid's reliance on long-distance power lines has led to a system prone to failure and incapable of meeting clean electricity demands. The solution proposed is the adoption of microgrids, which can generate electricity locally, reduce the need for long-distance transmission lines, and enhance reliability and safety. The World Business Academy advocates for this shift towards microgrids and emphasizes the importance of integrating localized power generation with existing infrastructure to address the challenges faced by the outdated grid system.
