Of course they might "destroy US utilities", which is why some of us appreciate them so much. Of course they won't destroy hydro or wind plants. There was a time when power generation "had" to be centralized, just as AT&T "needed" to have a telecom monopoly and we "need" to have ISPs. Technology is sweeping us past that necessity; those days are ending. Now that the utilities have stripped and burned most of the easily-stripped fossil fuel resources (leaving no such easy plundering for future generations) and kept the profits for themselves, we are all starting to enjoy getting a slice of the pie. Dear Utes: don't let the door hit you in the ass.
