quote
"Oil moves to the highest bidder. Fleets of tankers carry it across oceans day and night. […] Electricity can be transported only over land. In other words, it is “sticky”: it stays in the continent where it is produced."

From Andy Grove in The American. Not as much new information as an interesting perspective, arguing the advantages of moving to an electric economy independent of the environmental reasons. By his reasoning, almost any way we can make electricity is worth it if it replaces petroleum.
