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.

Ideally
Ideally it would be great, but I doubt it can easily be implemented. Having energy independent facilities allows for a more resilient nation.

Ironically we have a solution that can help solve this problem
Our product, VSSA, developed with the knowledge and now the development at IBM Lab Services in Rochester MN. is up and running live at the Israel Electric Company ("IEC").
The 5 day extensive testing was all done at the IBM Rochester MN facility with the people from the IEC.
There is NO reason that an American solution, proven for over 7 years and now doing this critical function in Israel should not be customized (If necessary) for the requirements of the national power grid here in the USA.
This solution VSSA was reviewed by IBM extensively, at IBM's request and expense, several years ago and is since been up and running in some customers for well over 5 years. Just starting to gain traction since we here at Valid Technologies are not Marketing experts but have recently been getting help from a senior marketing executive which is already showing some big possibilities. VSSA is a proven product running natively on an IBM Power server in c++ under System i.
It would be a sin for all of this effort to go un noticed where it is needed the most here in the USA.

first thing to do
Is get rid of the stupid "smart meters" - -huge targets for hackers, and spying on the public for minute by minute usage.
