⚡ 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?
