coreopsis: “In the US, the grid is not only outdated…”
False. Outdated grids have the following characteristics: • Extremely high variable costs per kilowatt-hour. • Large subsidies for residential users. • Spotty coverage or unreliable voltage during non-peak hours.
In the “centralized” areas of the European Union, Asia and Europe you have any combination of those characteristics. In the U.S. and Canada there is none of that. But if you think paying 72¢ per kilowatt-hour is the sign of a great power grid, I’d love to know the name of your utility company.
