They certainly don’t understand the interdependencies, which are very similar to the software development processes you were just referring to.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Second, conventional coal and nuclear plants are being retired for economic and policy reasons, removing stable sources from the grid. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.

When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The electrical grid also supports the efficient distribution of power and makes use of energy generated through renewable means like wind and solar.
