Electricity seems to be everwhere: flowing in our bodies to power our hearts, lightning is constantly striking the earth at roughly 100 strikes per second[1], and nearly all of the factories and offices in the world use it. But it only seems to be everwhere as there continue to be nearly a billion people without access to electricity globally, primarily rural villages. The primary issue has always been that electricity was always produced in a few select locations and then distributed out from there in a system called the electrical grid to homes and businesses, which can be very expensive to expand. Despite not even reaching everyone on the planet, the electrical grid causes significant environmental damage that affect everyone.
