Wharfie, As for the overlords of the system, we have our very own, right here in California. That's not the same. PG&E is a LOCAL utility. It's not even a statewide utility, much less global. Even CAISO is a regional organization, not a global one. Let me put it this way. Let's say the UN creates a "global electricity system" and makes Greta Thunberg, TIME's Puppet of the Year, its president. She goes to China and tells them to stop boosting production of coal, because you know, coal bad, materialism bad, CO2 bad, planet good. China responds by telling Greta to go pound sand. Greta runs back to her hippie mommy and daddy, sobbing a whole river of tears that can power a hydro electric plant. See how easy that was? The "global electricity system" just fell apart. Now I have no problems with countries negotiating electricity generation across international borders. That's the free market working as intended. But a "global electricity system" is a pipe dream.
