Somewhere far off in another country, a hacker infiltrated a US energy company, crippling a fuel supply line that runs 5,500 miles from New York to Texas and leaving me, like others, unsure if I’d make it home from work on the gasoline left in my tank.
It is an example of the vulnerability of sole reliance on big energy.
Electric grids are the big energy equivalent of the fuel line on the power side of the energy industry. They carry electricity instead of fuel, but are subject to the same kind of far-reaching calamities because of a single point of failure. So far, we haven’t experienced massive power outages because of a cyberattack, but we have again and again because of storms, wildfires or something as simple as a tree branch falling on a wire in the wrong place.
Alternative energy options are growing at a rapid pace. And it can be hard to wade through the variety of choices. A new report from Mesa Solutions aims to provide an approach that provides an option to get off the grid, while retaining stability, cost efficiency and reliability.
The report is titled, “How to Get Off the Electric Grid, Stabilize Cost and Reliability, Use Renewables, and Increase Efficiency.” Its author, Thomas Poteet, vice president of corporate development at Mesa Solutions, says the report explains “how to get your commercial or industrial site completely off the electric grid by using prime power internal combustion engine natural gas generators, fueled primarily by the natural gas distribution system.”
