How does your gridless plan work for dense urban areas? That need more power than they have rooftops, and the wind blows best elsewhere.
I think it's already the case that not being on the grid is financially best in areas with very low population and reliable sunshine, like parts of the Australian outback.
- jMyles 8y agoYeah, I mean dense urban areas will need to have some unification infrastructure and to be able to get power from areas just outside the city. But I don't think that this means that we need a single universal grid across a landmass as huge as North America. Also, cities (and all people everywhere) need to dramatically reduce power consumption no matter what the source is.
