Experts Ponder How to Power the Future


In a special section dedicated to energy, the New York Times asks this question: What would happen if everybody got electric cars, drove home after work and plugged them in to charge? It would be an enormous drain on the nation’s electrical grid, for one thing. Experts are trying to address the theoretical problem now, before it becomes a real threat. One idea is to introduce off-peak pricing to less the burden, another is to make power cheaper when the sun comes out or the wind is blowing.
