Needless to say, what Bill proposes is controversial. I'd like to get Steve Jobs interested in an equivalent R&D adventure. I bet Steve would counter BG's recycled power utility vision with something a bit more innovative, like a new Inukeplant where the only external outlet to the device is a series of USB ports. ;-) I'm sure the Vort Collective might have a few opinions of its own as well.
