“You don't need to overhaul the home entirely. You can take devices people actually have already and make some use out of them for the grid. It's a more modest goal, and I think more realistic than swapping out the entirety of the built environment for somethin…”

“So in my district, it takes about 70 weeks, which is hard to believe, like seven, no, seven 70 weeks to get things connected, to get new charging infrastructure, for example connected to the grid.”

“Potentially A way to move storage from one place to another and provide emergency demand response. That concept I'm not totally bought in on, but who knows? Maybe we'll be moving batteries on trains and using it for the grid.”

“If you look at what we need, the grid needs to grow by about 60% by 2030, right, according to some studies for us to meet our climate goals. It needs to triple in size by 20 50.”

“The nuclear industry grid-connected About four gigawatts of nuclear to the grid this year.”

“People misunderstand the word virtual to mean, you know, not real. When these are hard assets on the grid, it's not phone calls anymore. It's software integrations, and it's large aggregations of small resources that really add up to something very valuable.”

“These are mobile, flexible energy resources, and so their mobility comes first and foremost. It is a device not built for energy purposes. Please deal with the automakers. They will tell you how much they do not care about the energy parts. First and foremost,…”

“I think, ah, utilities have been remarkable at the ability to integrate clean resources. I think you know, we just gotta be able to get more online, and there are some fundamental constraints to that within our existing grid.”

“They're not solving any problems this decade, right? That is a 20 thirties and probably a late 20 thirties. Opportunity.”

“There's plenty of power most of the time. There's, you know, a number of hours a year where we don't have enough power, and so that's really what we're trying to solve for.”

“Low-resolution data sent up to the service provider, made available later on, and look, there's some things you can do with that, but you just can't have a real-time, consumer-facing app, and then you can't see the grid in real-time from the edge either.”

“What we've learned since then is that same high-resolution data lets us see, ah, the grid from the edge, lets us see transformers arcing, lets us see vegetation hanging power lines in real-time. That only happens through high-resolution data.”
