Summary

Climate change is making weather more extreme in Vermont and across the country. In a lot of places, our electricity infrastructure — poles and wires — are pretty exposed. Nationwide, our power grid was built for less stormy times.
 
And that’s a problem, as Vermont and other places look to power more and more of our heat and transportation with electricity from renewable sources.
So how do we make our grid more reliable at the same time we’re trying to make it cleaner? Some people say creating “microgrids” could help.
