One thing I've heard Saul Griffith[1] talk about is instead of thinking traditionally about supply-side electricity as this paper does, think instead about an "internet of electricity" where all the distributed producers and consumers of electricity work together to balance a "smart grid". Household or community solar, utilities, even your car's (gigantic) battery would all work together to provide stability and resilience. This would require "grid neutrality" where no one's electron's are favored above others the same way no one's packets are valued above others in the internet. Seems like a smart idea given how distributed the grid is becoming.
