The obvious problem is the exorbitant cost to reach the optimal scale. <BR/><BR/>You should also consider including <B>Infrastructure</B> in your plan. Our current electrical grid is fractured, outdated and horribly inefficient. I don't have the exact figure, but I remember the grid alone accounts for 30% energy loss! If we could improve the efficiency of the electrical grid we would enjoy substantial savings.<BR/><BR/>Also, we should invest in a true nationwide grid that allows for the seamless transfer of power based on demand. Eventually we can look into self-healing grids that automatically redirect power to auxillary lines to end blackouts. <BR/><BR/>Great article!
