1. It would be great BUT

I can't see our polititians allowing it! This would bring jobs, save lives, and add to solar power.
This would not be allowed by the oil and coal oligarchs that own our polititians of course.

3. Exactly. This technology means that the Koch Bros. lose money.

Our pols exists to maximize their income.

5. I think it will start out on a local level

If its successful in the Idaho town then you will probably see other towns start to do it then maybe counties and finally states. At that point the cat would be out of the bag and there would be no stopping it.

2. I'm so amazed that Sandpoint, Idaho is going to be a leader in this.

I used to live in the Sandpoint area on Lake Pend Oreille's east shore. Although Sandpoint has more liberals than the rest of redneck, right wing Idaho, because of the environmentalists attracted to this beautiful wilderness area, I wonder if they can pull it off. I will be so proud of them if they do.

4. This tech could also be used in conjunction with self-driving cars

All automobile accidents would be eliminated. We'd have an entire generation of people who would look at us a primative because we drove our own cars.
