Abstract
The power grid has nurtured the growth of our society since the late 19th century. While the grid is a technological marvel, it is also reaching the limits of its ability to meet the demands of the 21st century and beyond due to aging infrastructure, climate change, and the demand for high-quality and reliable power in the digital information age. Americans are witnessing the results of this conflict in an increasing number of regional blackouts. A massive power shortage in Texas due to a winter storm in February 2021 served as a wake-up call for this urgent situation. In another textbook example, recent wildfire-induced power outages in California have driven high-tech industries to look for states with more reliable power systems where they can relocate their facilities.
