The pieces are coming together:
- Electric cars: Ever more viable and a potential piece of decentralized power (hybrid gas-electrics could double as home back-up generators)
- More cost effective renewable energy options
- Better electrical storage options
Weighed against:
- An aging and increasingly vulnerable infrastructure
- Legacy power sources that damage health and ecosystem
Its a matter of when.
Someone, someday, is going to be faced with rebuilding a town’s infrastructure after (insert your favorite natural disaster) and do the math.
