Unreliable Energy Source Put People in Danger

One of the biggest problems in regards to these new technologies is making sure that they’re actually hooked up to the grid in an appropriate way. One of the things you see, especially in states like Maryland, it’s got a ton of solar farms, a good amount of wind energy, but they’re not hooked up to the grid in a way that they’re providing the energy when it’s needed. One of the things we are working on at ALEC is a new ALEC model policy on the electrical generation reliability. It says you’ve got to make sure before you take the legacy systems offline that the new systems are up and running and actually able to generate what constituents need.
