IT'S GREAT TO HAVE NEIGHbors you can depend on, whether you're borrowing a cup of sugar or you need someone to walk your dog while you're out of town. In the western Colorado neighborhood of Basalt Vista, the residents are even closer than most: They share their electricity. But unlike your neighbor with the sugar, the residents of Basalt Vista may not even know when they're being generous. The energy exchanges happen automatically, behind the scenes. What residents do know is how inexpensive, reliable, and renewable their electricity is.

好的网格可以成为好邻居

拥有很多东西，您可以依靠，无论您是借杯糖还是外出旅行时需要有人walk狗。在科罗拉多州西部的玄武岩Vista街区，居民比大多数人离得更近：他们共享电力。但是，与您的邻居吃糖不同，玄武岩景观的居民甚至可能都不知道他们何时慷慨。能量交换在幕后自动进行。居民知道的是他们的电价便宜，可靠和可再生。
