Hi Tip - >> One only needs consider the economics of the sunk investment in transmission, distribution and conventional central station generating plants to see why these will never make it anywhere for residential needs.<< Yeh? I thought that would be the negawats application of choice, but you think of it as a sales pitch.

Petroleum reserves will last 20 years. Natural gas 30 years.
As the end of the reserves draw near, prices will go up.

Once they start going up, (by about 2015/2017) the alternatives will kick in since they become more competitive. This will extend the reserves a bit longer as the world economy starts using more of the alternatives.
