The grid of the future is no grid (existing grid will transistion to a hot backup for some time)
Distributed power systems will prevail long term since fuel and electrical distribution/transmission costs & upkeep go towards zero $ and a distributed system is much safer during war , solar flares, etc. Distributed LENR systems will provide local CHP which is a big plus.Equipment will be taxed, capitalized & depriciated.
