🚌🎉Update🎉🚌
Montgomery County, MD's first #hydrogen #bus was delivered yesterday!

🚌MCDOT received a $15 million federal grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to purchase 13 hydrogen #fuelcell buses and build a #green #hydrogenfueling station at EMTOC. The new #microgrid at EMTOC will power the hydrogen fueling station that #DGS will be building as a next step.

⚡ Microgrids represent a bottom-up infrastructure adaptation that bypasses brittle national grids and anticipates the coming fragmentation of centralized energy supply. This isn’t big utility talk or national policy headlines, it’s actual deployment patterns in small communities that signal structural energy system adaptation at the grassroots. Are there microgrids in your area?

This article highlights one of the problems with #BCHydro: it does not serve communities, it serves corporations.

#Renewable #energy generation is slightly more $$ efficient when centralized. But #PowerGrid design is more #resilient when generation is #decentralized.

#Quatsino is an #entrepreneur model - 600 members, remote, nearly #OffGrid w/storage. A co-op #microgrid with the hamlet could be the ideal pilot program for #BC Hydro.
