By the way, I agree that the proper approach to electricity shortages is along the lines of "micro fit". Small scale, localized production. If not on every house then at least in every community, all on a shared grid where any individual failure would have minimal effect as the rest of the grid makes up for individual local shortages.

I feel the same way about water and sewage treatment - better to spend money on providing and maintaining rainwater divergence systems at the household level (basically "smart" rain barrels) instead of building huge treatment capacity for the 10 storms a year that require it.
