Honestly, I see no point to energy independence. Why does anyone care whether they are hooked to a grid or not? The power company charges a reasonable price. You cannot have wind power without a grid. I mean, I would prefer a world with no grid, because power lines are ugly and they take up space. But since we have a grid why does anyone want to get off of it? Of course CF would have countless advantages, and it would do away with the grid. - Jed
