Topic from Database

My topic is US Energy Grid and I learned of this problem when I was 12 after I woke up to no electricity and went out to ask my dad what had happened and that's when I found out about the blackout at New York which affected some of Pennsylvania as well and wandered how a wide-scale blackout can occur. I am interested in the US Energy Grid topic because if I am going to be a electrician, I will have to deal with major blackouts that occur and deal with fixing the problem if it is from power lines or transformers which is part of my field. Researching this topic can help me on the job by learning of a new grid system called, "smart grid" which can cause increased efficiency, low costs, and promote Eco-friendly energy, which in turn can help prevent blackouts and make more jobs for electricians so we can change out the old with the new in a faster time to make more people happy and would cost less than when blackouts would occur less. I already knew about the topic is that the blackout affected New York with being out of electricity for over 24 hours or more than 3 days in the hot summer and they had a lot of traffic accidents because of the lights being out also. I hope to learn more about how much electricity affected people when the blackout occurred and how the smart gird can help. The audience that could be interested in this blog would be electricians and someone who was curious about the wide-scale blackout.
