LENR may be closer than once believed if you consider that once an LENR
heat source becomes reliable, a refrigeration cycle driven gen set becomes
more sensible.

Plasma fusion would need the electricity grid. It would probably
concentrate it even more than present day fission, which is the most
concentrated method (with the fewest, largest central generators).
Granted, however that wasn't really what I had in mind. I was thinking more
in
terms of either CF or my own process.
CF may eventually be built into individual devices, but that isn't likely to
be
true immediately. My own process would at least initially be most suited to
small generation plants (e.g. the size of a normal sub-station).
In both cases, a HVDC network would not be needed.
