If we get our cards right, if we're smart about this, and if we actually start planning and making the investments in these technologies, we could make this transition cheaper, more effective, and have greater benefits for everyone.

The way our power grid works typically is that we have large centralized generators, and then they send power along long transmission lines and then distribution networks to our homes, our offices, and businesses.

The main issue with that is that electricity has to be used pretty much as soon as it's produced, and so generators have to match the demand instantaneously, minute to minute, second by second, in order to keep the power grid stable.

It has a lot of benefits. It doesn't typically compete with generators directly because it stores energy. It doesn't generate electricity on its own. And oftentimes it charges up using electricity that would otherwise go to waste. And so essentially, a lot of times it's using electricity that's effectively free.

And so batteries buy us some time. They help allow some stability and redundancy to provide additional power when it's needed, when parts of the grid have to go down.
