Utility Operations and Grid Systems Explained Simply: Energy Technologies Explained Simply

Great start book for Introducing people to Grids--If you don't know why they exist you'll need one of my classes. Source recommend: Congressional Research Service--huge amount of information and free--you paid for it with your taxes.

Just Okay... Book has many grammatical errors and does lots of content repeating. It reads as if the author did lots of Wikipedia research then summarized. If you know nothing about the electrical industry, you may glean some understanding, yet there are several other books that will instill concepts and understanding. Save your money on this one...

I thought this was an interesting book. It was a little dull at some points, but I learned a lot about the grid that I never even thought about.

This is my second book on power grids. I have gained a lot. I'm still missing some information such as what is being done to prevent the grid from going down. There are many ways the grid can be affected.

The author covered very negative subjects on the one energy source that could displace the Big Gorilla - fossil fuel, and that is nuclear power. I know the fossil fuel industry through people like the Koch brothers pay scientists and writers to put out negative information about nuclear power to insure they will never take over from fossil fuel, even though they are clean, smoke and soot-free and do not emit CO2. It would be good to hear the author come clean about whether his negatives views of nuclear were inspired by fossil fuel money.

Too basic
