Energy Overview - Redux

In reviewing my Energy Overview guide, I was struck by the lack of granular information on two things -

1. The impact of mass market energy efficiency of reducing power consumption in many dimensions of use, in many "silos", both industrial and commercial, and
2. The looming problem - the one that could kill the whole deal. That would be the decaying nature of our national power grid, the infrastructure that carries the power. Actually, we have no "national" infrastructure -it is ALL localized. This system must be upgraded, in phased steps, to mitigate cost and labor availability. A tricky situation, to be sure, but it can be done - ore on specifics later, I just wanted those thoughts captured and published.
