Cutting-Edge Microgrid Technology

The other day I had the good fortune to run into Charles Wells, CTO of Pxise (pronounced “pice”), whose breakthrough micro-grid technology has the potential to effect huge changes in the provision of electrical energy around the globe.  I had limited time for this conversation, so I cut to the chase: “Does this apply to our hopes that the Third World might leapfrog over the horrors of coal plants, and wind up with regional generation of renewables, coupled with battery storage, then distribute it to a village?”

Charles (pictured above) smiled kindly, “That’s precisely what this is made for.  There are other attempts to make this happen, but we have the only modern approach to the subject. If you look at our competitors, they’ve cobbled together 50-year-old ideas; we’re the only people who can really make this happen.”

A wholly-owned subsidiary of San Diego-based utility giant Sempra, these guys mean business–and all of us, at least those of us with lungs, need to be rooting for them.
