Electric Power

For more than a century, the interplay between private, investor-owned electric utilities and government regulators has shaped the electric power industry in the United States. Provision of an essential service to largely dependent consumers invited government oversight and ever more sophisticated market intervention. The industry has sought to manage, coopt, and profit from government regulation. In The Power Brokers, Jeremiah Lambert maps this complex interaction from the late 19th century to the present day.

Electricity is essentially the lifeblood of the modern, technological society that we enjoy, for without it, the devices and machinery that enable our economy would not be able to function. The US grid is aging, and one of the tools for modernizing the system is the incorporation of computerized systems that allow for the rapid monitoring and control of the equipment used in the grid. Connecting these systems to the internet has increased the ability to remotely control aspects of the grid, but this has come with increasing concern for the grid’s cybersecurity.

The Purpose of this Book The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap, the gulf, which spans the believers in “free energy” and the engineers and scientists who don’t believe in it. Scientists and engineers have the knowledge to understand the theory behind free energy, but they also have the programming they’ve been given during their formal education to not believe that their knowledge can cover the subject of free energy in its defense. On the other hand, the supporters of free energy are not trained in the theory and knowledge of free energy, so all they want to do is build ...
