Power Grid

Most of us don't think about where our electricity comes from until we go to turn the switch and nothing happens or until we get the electricity bill in the mail. From cooking our meals to taking hot showers, not sitting in the dark to watching TV, electricity plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of of modern life. Without electricity there'd be no playing video games, charging our cell phones, turning our computers on. As the world grows more conscious about our electricity consumption, we hear more and more about different kinds of energy resources – solar, wind, hydro, etc. With so much power behind that tiny light switch, where does it all come from?
