Reinventing the U.S Electric Grid
A scientist from Britain named Faraday discovered the basics of electricity in the 1800’s and his basic methods are still in use in the modern world since electricity is still generated through a movement of a wire loop or copper in between magnet poles. In the United States, electricity emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants from fossil accounts to almost 40% emissions and this is considered the largest source known in the world. The production of electricity emissions in the United States poses a great risk in the world today since it produces too much sulphur oxide, which is a main constituent of acid rain. Although electricity has been very useful in many ways all around the world, there are arising issues associated to it and one of these issues is its composition of sulphur oxide, which is dangerous to human beings.
There is a large network of independently activated and owned transmission lines and power plants in the United States and this poses a lot of questions on the health and status of the electrical systems in the Nation. Other issues that arise in the electric grid in the United States are such as how it is outdated and that there is a lot of politics and challenges in upgrading the electric grid in the country.
These issues pose a lot of danger in the country because if they are not upgraded then this will affect the country’s economy in many ways through destroying companies that depend so much on modern technology. The main sources of energy in the United States are solar and wind but better solutions needs to be found for renewable sources of energy because they do not produce reliable power consistently. Finally, there is much need of reinventing the electric grid in the United States for sustainable power for the future.
