Creating Certainty through Uncertainty

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Growing Energy Labs

InnovatingSMART helps to shape the future by telling the collective story of sustainable, regenerative SMART innovation.

In editor Sue Lebeck’s blog post on “Creating Certainty through Uncertainty“, she makes the case that “When it comes to energy in America, Certainty has most certainly become the condition we have come to expect – nay, demand — from the electrical grid. [..] Our path to sustained Certainty, however, is highly Uncertain.”

She caught up with GELI’s VP of Operations, Ted Beatie, at the Plug and Play Smart Grid event for a few words discussing GELI technology.
