I'm not sure if I'm the only one here but when i read "Dubai ruler hacked ex-wife" I thought hacked referred to chopped into pieces. I don't think my first thought of "hacked" has ever gone to chopping for any other post/person.
- more people to buy electric cars that can also act as a whole home battery
- even more research dollars in storage/battery tech
- distributed power grid
- resell electricity to grid (or maybe even local neighbours)
- short-term power outages are handled by design
- people think more about their electricity usage
- people may be more likely to generate power at home
- unnecessary extra cost to end users
- might be less efficient then centralization
- certain markets/peoples will not be able to easily access stored electricity?
