Smart Energy Grid

The energy storage issue of renewables can be addressed by using efficiency and smart use on part of the humans, and smart automation to augement human use patterns. This can allow a 100% transition to renewables much more quickly than the 2050 prediction [1]. Some best practices are:

1. Use base loads (washer/dryer, etc) during the day - nominally from 9 AM to 6 PM - which matches peak loads anyway.
2. Use electric heating during the day for night-time water storage. For example, water saving shower at 0.625 gpm

gives 13 minutes of hot water.
