Electric Utility Problems

So this LENR site has an interesting perspective on what is happening, and going to happen in the electric utility industry.  For the most part, I agree, regardless of LENR (Cold Fusion), that is to say whether or not it will actually be a thing, I am convinced that changes are coming.  Batteries are improving.  Solar is improving.  electric generators and other related technologies are improving and getting cheaper. A more distributed generation and transmission network is coming.  It may take 30-50 years, but I tend to think that it's starting to happen now.  There are a lot of places where Solar is a significant, 3-5%, of the energy generation.  I don't agree with the analogy, though.  My take is one more akin to the local vs long distance model that was for telephone service in the days before cell phones and the Internet.  In those days long distance call costs subsidized local service.  Today, in electricity, power consumption subsidizes transmission network (long distance) costs.   That's what I think will change in that soon you will pay much more for the network, and it's upgrades.
