This blog's focus is to promote the diligent development of the variegated, multitudinous renewable energy resources which encompass, meet, flow over and surround the land mass which meets the Northeastern shore of the Pacific Ocean. The hope is that this blog will serve as a news and information clearinghouse for our region's abundant renewable energy.

Understanding Energy Transmission - ET 101
Despite the length of transmission lines, by tradition, much of the energy produced in a region stays within or near that region. There are exceptions, but they won't be discussed at this point. For example when Alaska interconnects to British Columbia, most of the newer energy won't travel much farther than to the nearest load in British Columbia.
When new generation is added, the energy is actually shifted to the next region's load in a kind of domino effect. So the power may leave the region, but it doesn't go too far.

About Me
- A. John Robertson
- I'm interested in a sustainable economy in the North and worldwide. I think that we have a lot to learn from each other, in this region of the world. My known heritage is Alaskan, American, Canadian, Norwegian, Welsh and German. I was born in Alaska, but have lived in Oregon and Washington, as well as having spent time with my cousins in British Columbia. I have relatives who are Tlingit and family whom are Inupiat - we all have a stake in a sustainable future. I think that we Northerners can better prosper working together rather than by going it alone. Hopefully these blogs will help achieve some positive movement in the direction of collaborative benefits for this region we call home.
