Perfect Power

Authors Robert Galvin and Kurt Yeager came out with a book, Perfect Power: How the Microgrid Revolution will Unleash Cleaner, Greener, and More Abundant Energy, several weeks ago. I would urge all to check it out. Robert Galvin was born lucky, but did a lot with what he had - his father founded Motorola after solving the problem of how to make a radio work in a car. He inherited that thriving company and did well with it, then left the mantle of the corporation to his son and moved on pursue his passion - electricity industry reform. He formed the Galvin Electricity Initiative to bring pressure to bear on policy makers, shining a light on the need to fix our fundamental infrastructure. Into his ninth decade on the planet, he has partnered with Kurt Yeager, past president of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to accomplish his objectives with the Institute. This is an endeavor worthy of our attention.
