Speaking of the electricity economy - Germany is having some interesting problems.

The inherent limits of wind and solar require a different approach to an electrical grid - and some unique problems for industry and teh economy in general.

I see this as a good argument for electric cars actually - the connection is I assume obvious. No? It's the batteries.

Then we can take the fossil carbons, natural gas in particular, and use it to run smaller less expensive cogeneration planst for industry - indyustry gets reliable current and the surplus heat, a big win win.

Our problem is, as a nation we have lost the ability to innovate infrastructure. the free market is reactive, not proactive, so it can't innovate, it only reacts to current demands. It assumes a stable state, and we have left stable state behind.

We need leadership and vision, but we have built a system that punishes leadership and defunds vision.

It's a paradox, much like the oil paradox, or the meritocracy paradox.
