I'll refrain from jumping into arguments on political neo-liberal decisions to privatise utilities, which are /natural monopolies/ and how the financialisation of our anglo-saxon economies has reduced the attention span of corporations and the politicians funded by them to tomorrow morning's news headlines. The point of indispensability of centralised energy generation though may no longer be as absolute as once was. Microgeneration technologies and emerging storage solutions could mean the future electricity grid resembles more of a local mesh network, than the national scale infrastructure of the previous century. Now, I better look into finding a way to silence this new UPS fan which seems to be going on 24/7 with or without load on it! o_O -- Regards, Mick
