Is our energy system doing the job it’s meant to do? As renewables flood into our electricity market, is it driving change in the right direction?

Heather Smith argues that energy should serve our communities. As we get better at using sunshine - an energy resource that is distributed everywhere - we need to build a system that makes sure our energy use benefits everyone.
 Heather is an engineer and energy specialist who has spent her career working with energy users and policy makers. She is also a Churchill Fellow and had the opportunity to see first hand the community energy systems and energy transitions that are making news around the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
