Morning Keynote at Green Tech Media’s The Networked Grid Conference Nov 4, San Francisco

The Networked Grid Keynote Presentation
Quotes from Andy Tang, Senior Director, Smart Energy Web, PG&E

"We believe that there will be 35 different electric vehicle models deployed in the next two years."

"A home in an a temperate area like San Francisco, plugging in a car is like adding 3 houses!"

"5% of the power plants in PG&E’s mix are unsed only 50 hours a year (out of 8760)!"

"I look at storage as tivo-ing electricity, Its time shifting without us having to change behavior.  Also a huge solution to the intermittency problems of renewables."

"We are facing a paradigm shift in terms of how we relate to energy… I would posit that we don’t."

"There is a nagging doubt in the back of my mind—a Kevin Costner field of dreams voice—if we build it, will they (the consumers) come… we have to focus on consumer adoption."
