Hate to be the wet blanket but the way I see it happening is.. All those people at the power companies are out of a job and because we have very little manufacturing left in this country the power cells are made in China. Oh ya, the power used to manufacture those power cells is produced by dirty cool fired plants.
End to All Power Problems
Has anyone heard of Bloom Energy? It's a new technology that many tech companies are now using to generate power off of the grid.
It takes methane (or another similar fuel) and uses fuel cells to chemically convert fuel to power. Check out the 60 minutes segment on it, pretty amazing. I think it could be a huge paradigm type shift for the entire country.
It actually works, and they are hoping to be able to get the cost down to $3000 per house. No more power bill, only a gas bill, and we have tripled our Natural Gas reserves in the country since 2007. Fewer power plants, many fewer transmission wires, less oil........
Oh yeah, and most importantly, clean power to your audio gear.
