Abstract
THE UNIVERSAL AVAILABILITY and use of electricity has come to define modern life, at least for the vast majority of people in the industrialized world. Electricity is accessible in nearly every home and commercial building. We rely on power from wall sockets 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for a myriad of uses that range from toasting a bagel to powering an MRI machine. Electricity is remarkably versatile, and we have built a massive infrastructure to generate, distribute, and consume it.
