fitting conclusion to an issue devoted to wind integration. This column
looks
at the inadequacy of the US grid the challenge to the engineering
profession,
present and future, to try new solutions on new problems and to break
new

increase in
renewables as a success story to be emulated and improved upon. Further
discussion is encouraged and should be sent to molken@ieee.org.
