13% of Utilities Believe Centralized Electric Generation Will be Obsolete by 2050 : CleanTechnica
But a surprising 13% of utilities believe that an “Al Gore Electra-net” model of distributed rooftop power will be the dominant way we get our electricity in the US by 2050.[If we're going to power this country with rooftop solar panels, who's going to constantly keep them all snow-free?]: February 13, 2010: 49 states dusted with snow; Hawaii's the holdout
