Aging Power Infrastructure in the US - Towards a Solution
According to the United States Energy Department, the demand for electricity in the US is growing at the rate of about 1% a year, with that pace likely to increase over the next few years. Other estimates put the increase at 6% or more per year, thanks to the population growth rate and the burgeoning numbers of electric/electronic devices now considered essential to people's lifestyles. According to the Department of Energy (DOE) 40% of all energy used in the US (oil, gas, wind, solar) is converted into electricity.
