World Grid: Clean Energy for Everyone Everywhere

The World Grid Project is working to create a global electric grid powered only by renewable energy like solar and wind. This idea comes from Buckminster Fuller, who dreamed of giving everyone on Earth clean, affordable electricity. The project maps how countries are already connecting their power grids across borders. When day happens on one side of Earth, solar panels make electricity that can be sent to the night side where it's dark. Wind from cold places can power warm places. This sharing makes electricity cheaper and cleaner for everyone. During the Cold War, even Russian leaders said this idea was good and possible. Today, with climate change and cheaper clean energy, this vision is more important than ever. The project tracks real examples of countries working together to share electricity. They study how these partnerships start, who runs them, what problems they face, and what works best. The goal is to help people understand how a worldwide clean energy network could help solve climate change and give everyone reliable power.
