"The key to this movement toward electricity from renewable, widely distributed sources is a program of renewable energy dividends (sometimes called "feed-in" programs), such as that recently adopted by Gainesville. At peak periods, our current electricity grid is overburdened and fragile and relies on a small number of gigantic (often highly polluting) power plants. With programs like Gainesville’s, the grid can steadily evolve into something far more secure, resilient and sustainable than it is now."  R. James Woolsey, Jr.
