</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">While I spend a lot of
time writing about PG&E and solar, it is nice to see the
Press Democrat do a story on an open source software player in

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">"The 21st century
electricity grid must be a swift superhighway where electrons
and data zip in nanoseconds to where they’re needed, in contrast
to today’s hodgepodge of proprietary toll roads that barely talk

international organization she founded in 2019 to build the

transition,” Goodman said during a recent conversation at her
Sebastopol home.</font></p>

delivered by utilities to homes and businesses..."<br>
