Our society is faced with seemingly difficult tasks with transitioning to a new economy not based on fossil fuels and coal. It is time to move to energy that is clean and removes the toxins that are killing the planet and us. Even Pope Francis on September 23, 2015 speaking at the Whitehouse talked about correcting climate change is our duty and we cannot leave it to the next generation. We can all agree that there is no one size fits all solution, and there is no magic bullet to affordable clean energy. The prospects and possibilities are amazing or terrifying, but very real.
Energy storage and management systems effect the power industry like cell phones did for the communications industry: allow freedom of access, anytime, anywhere.
At Intersolar I met with SimpliPhi Power, Inc. who is a growing and innovative technology company that designs, builds and sells a portfolio of intelligent, non-toxic, efficient, energy dense power storage and management systems that seamlessly integrate renewable energy in conjunction with or independent of the grid.
To get some insight on the importance of the electric grid it is important to understand that electricity is the fuel that runs the engine our society requires to perform our daily activities. Without electricity society as we know it drastically changes. We survive as a local, regional, and International society because we have electricity and a grid that allows the transfer of the electricity from where it is produced to where it is requested. One of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century was R. Buckminster Fuller.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction. ~Albert Einstein
