But Government Wants Centralized Everything
This is a great idea, decentralized/localized power generation but it will never get past the research styage (assuming it gets that far) because the Federal government wants centralization of everything to better control our society. If you are a power hungry politcian and your goal is a polcie state like world then you must have control over power distributiuon and use so localized anything would be first on your hit list.
I'm suprised Woosley was even able to get a story on SmartPlanet about this. The idea he prposes does not promote carbon credits trading, "green alternatives" or anything else that transfers power from the individual to corporations.
