Henry, I heartily embrace your vision of distributed power (pun intended).  It is the direction we are inevitably moving - as the proud owner of the first residential installation of Tesla Powerwall batteries in America, I know the model can work and that the rooftop solar revolution will continue apace, no matter how much the utilities try to block it.  There is just one aspect of your piece that gives me pause: the vision of everyone being educated and working from their homes.  One of the problems evident in the world today is a growing lack of social cohesion, the understanding that we are all a part of a community and the experience of participating in vital communal experiences.  My assumption is that this is not an either/or issue: that people will welcome being able to spend more time at home, but will still crave the experience of learning and working together.
