It's early..this is still the most foolish thing I've seen today.

"they just don't scale in densely populated areas."

How high can we get? Several countries are already over 20 %.
My provider ...Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) - 17.7% "new renewable"... doesn't count hydro......another 17%.

PG&E serves 5 percent of the country's population, yet we emit less than 1 percent of the total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with the nation's electricity production. On average, approximately half of the electricity PG&E delivers to its customers comes from a combination of renewable and greenhouse gas-free resources.
