The fact is that I've been reading about the early days of electrification lately, especially this book :

by William Spencer Murray. it's amazing how we are, yet again going down the same failed path.

You mean going backwards? From efficient central stations and regional power (300 miles) to district stations and local power (wind solar)?

I would note that Mr. Murray was an early advocate of regional power. He was also in favor of private ownership of utilities. Mr. Murray is one of those people who most of the Progressive historians would like to forget even existed. Unfortunately for the Progressives, engineers tend to leave artifacts behind that are sort of hard to hide. At least Mr. Murray did.
