Most all in Alaska will embrace the technology immediately--I for one. That state will lead the rest to realizing the advantages of local power generation, and there it will be only a technology update to existing local power generation. the success of LENR will spread by word of mouth like wild fires in California. The Alaskans will show California how to put an end to such things as restrictions on home power generation. As I noted, I already generate my home power without any restrictions, or requirements on electrical arrangements etc., as exist in most places in the lower 48 as state or local ordnances. People up there do not have local electricians to due their electrical work and resist paying for requirements that are unnecessary for safe, reliable power production. They will love the independence of existence that LENR will provide.

I do not think it will happen over night. Many reasons for that all based on the fact that changes are always hard to accept for most people. Utilities and government will put up a fight. Tax revenue and big investments in the grid, will drive them. They have means be the famous square plug in the round hole. For example in California you are not allowed to set up your own generator. The rules for generate electricity are totally geared toward the big utilities making it very hard to get in to the generation business. Contrary to Jed I think one can generate electricity in an economical way.It is as I said not allowed in California and it has drawbacks. like, back up power, maintenance, noise, pollution etc. Due to the fact that energy is produced and need transportation with losses ~50% the energy produced in a smaller scale can easily compete. That it is hard for the government to tax 'home brewed' energy' makes the generator an economical alternative.I also think that one could have a couple of different types of electricity. DC has advantages particularly if a LENR generator produces DC. To put in an inverter is extra cost. The most fascinating side of distributed power generation is that it will fit in to a new society, which I believe strongly in. A small scale very flexible society. Sooner or later we will react to all large anonymous organizations and their bureaucratic policy rules. LENR will fit like a hand in glove.It would even make two other utilities obsolete to some degree - water and sewage. If the energy cost is very low the expensive transportation can be eliminated. Yes, Axil there will be some guys who take the risk. Brave is not the reason. I think it more has to with curiosity. Hope and the possibilities that other good things will follow, clean water, pure atmosphere, cheap food. .

If as I expect the grid will try to save the jobs, the executives, the equities, influenced by workers union, politicians and finance, then people will disconnect from the grid one by one, not to pay the taxes. only when they will be disconnected and the grid buried, will another mesh grid appears, probably as local initiative... first you pull a wire with your neighbour in case your generator breaks, the with all the street. you buy the service of the CHP of a local industry, a bakery, and finally the micro-smart-grid reappear. it is about what happened with micro computers and client-server. mainframe tried to maintain the model with mini, but people prefered PC. then PC showed their limits and people asked for servers, then with Internet and then cloud/grid. it was funny for me to see that J2EE app servers were in a way no better than HTML CICS... and cloud looks like the MVS disk controlers 2015-01-18 9:55 GMT+01:00 Teslaalset <robbiehobbiesh...@gmail.com>: My traditional ernergy bill consists of an amount that can roughly be split as follows: - 10-20% transport to home - 60-70% tax - 10-30% raw energy costs This with all having profits and overhead included. LENR reactors will certainly challence such model in the Netherlands. Apart from domestic energy usage, there will be a big development on allowing LENR based mobility (cars, planes, etc.) which will push for compact standalone operation. There will be several stages over time, probably starting with using traditional grids first and local energy generation later onwards.

But the biggest reason is that people will happily pay a higher cost/watt for a generator, if it means an end to regular utility bills. Utility bills also include the utility's profit margin.
