I believe this should be a top priority. Electricity is too important. Even cars are going electric.
It is another attempt to centralize power which is the least suited for wind and solar. The country is brimming over with rooftops dying for solar and wind energy installations. The smart grid needs to be designed for distributed energy projects, not large scale concentrated power projects. The more we decentralize the energy, the more reliable the delivery system will be without the headache of large power outages that occur, for example, during ice storms. Producing power where it is used will always be the most efficient and reliable.
I will, however, agree that large wind farms capable of eliminating coal fired power plants is more desirable than not having them.
