When other types of power plants go dark, hydropower provides a fast, crucial response in seconds. Courtesy of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. By Kelsey Adkisson, PNNL America’s most critical piece of energy infrastructure — the grid — is more vulnerable than ever before. The reasons are two-fold: a shift in power source mix is affecting grid […]
