21st Century Grid Modernization: Enabling an "Intelligent" Energy Future
Description
This four-page white paper from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory lays out a vision for a fully transformed electric power infrastructure circa 2020. Describes a path forward that emphasizes five aspects, including a Smart Grid, demand response, a national electricity superhighway and more.

For instance, the idea of a Interstate Highway for electricity comes out as "Deploy a national transmission system to optimize nation’s 50-year investment in strategic issues of clean renewables, clean baseload (carbon and water neutral), and energy security via transportation electrification and real-time grid protection."
