Translations:Electricity and energy/1/en

Electricity is flowing in our bodies to power our hearts, lightning strikes the earth roughly 100 strikes per second, and much of human productivity and also environmental destruction result from our reliance upon it. Electricity is everywhere, but at the same time there continue to be nearly a billion people without access to electricity globally. The primary issue has always been that electricity was always produced in a few select locations and then distributed out from there in an electrical grid to homes and businesses, which can be very expensive to expand. Grid-tied PV systems can be used to help reduce the environmental impacts of electricity use and stand-alone PV systems can help provide energy to areas where the grid doesn’t reach as they are able to produce, store and provide energy in the form of electricity even in the most remote locations.
