The United States Electrical Power Grid System:  The National Academy of Engineering has called it one of the Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century! Now for the not so Good News. Most Power (Nuclear) Plants in America are well over Fourty Years Old and that's a Fact.The American Academy of Civil Engineers gave the Entire US Energy Infrastructure a "Barely Passing Grade of D+" It would cost almost $5Trillion Dollars to replace our Existing Power Grid. There is No Storage of Electricity on the Grid; Instead most Energy is stored in Fuels - Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear Products and Water behind Dams, waiting for the Command to be Converted to Electricity in Real Time. In recent years where we get our power has changed Dramatically. The Oldest Generators are Large Power Plants, with many located in the Eastern Part of the US. Going forward, we can either build the Grid back the same way, or we can invest in New Technologies that can bring us the same service but at a lower cost!
