Can't quite agree with that. It seems to me that the emerging distributed technologies are an existential threat to the current "utility" corporate monopoly model, that the utilities realize that and are fighting tooth and nail - as in near total war- to discredit any advocacy of transitioning to them. Unfortunately for them, advances are still emerging basically every month and costs for green E are declining steadily and this will continue because the fuel is basically FREE. This contrasts with the situation with fossil fuels: they need a steady stream of fuel from whatever source they are built for. What's a good size coal fired plant need- 500 MT every day? more-less? Same with gas- expensive fuel is required every day of operation. PV and wind- not so much.
