The Risks of a Centralized Power Grid
December 16, 2008
The Associated Press reports that an ice storm in seven states in the Northeastern United States over the weekend left 1.25 million homes and businesses without power. Even now, hundreds of thousands are still without power. The beauty of winter has already turned to devastation for many.
Imagine- having no power in the face of subfreezing temperatures. It's happening now...and winter is only beginning.
One gas station owner in New Hampshire was quoted in the AP article as saying, "It's kind of lawless out there. There's a lot of people very frustrated stacking up at the gas stations. It's pretty ugly."
We must find new sources of energy that allow each home and business its own clean source of electrical energy, free from the problems that occur when a centralized grid fails.
This is the vision of The Orion Project. We are dedicated to supporting engineers, physicists and inventors who have developed innovative solutions to energy generation.
The time is now.
