Step 1 of 4: Resources

What energy resources do you have?

Pick everything that could help the grid. Each one uses, makes or stores power, and some do more than one. You can change this later.

Uses power: Can run later or use less when the grid is busy.
Makes power: Generates electricity right where you are.
Stores power: Saves energy to use or share later.
