A Different Kind of Thinking
According to data presented at the 2008 Advanced Energy Conference in Long Island, only 30% of all electricity generated worldwide is actually consumed by end users. This was found to be due in large part to a fundamental mismatch between the time of production and time of use of electricity. Moreover, these inefficiencies are further exacerbated by various system and transmission losses associated with the increasing physical distance between utility power plants and major population centers where the majority (up to 75%) of electricity is consumed. Given today’s trends of urbanization and climate change, the causes and effects of this problem can only grow, unless a change in thinking is made in the way society relates to its energy resources.
