I'll refrain from jumping into arguments on political neo-liberal decisions to 
privatise utilities, which are /natural monopolies/ and how the 
financialisation of our anglo-saxon economies has reduced the attention span 
of corporations and the politicians funded by them to tomorrow morning's news 
headlines.

The point of indispensability of centralised energy generation though may no 
longer be as absolute as once was.  Microgeneration technologies and emerging 
storage solutions could mean the future electricity grid resembles more of a 
local mesh network, than the national scale infrastructure of the previous 
century.

Now, I better look into finding a way to silence this new UPS fan which seems 
to be going on 24/7 with or without load on it!  o_O
