I didn't read much concerning the distribution infrastructure. It's in sad shape too and barely able to supply the full demand of present day energy needs.
Many of the power corridors transmitting power to major centers were constructed in the 60s and primarily are aluminium cable susceptible to corrosion and frequent failure. Not much has been done to improve or find new improved methods of distributing the good old Kw to the end of the line so it's still a Kw. The losses are big, cables and towers need replacing.
If I were a public utility looking at HydroStax I'd be looking at it as a deadly advocate not a friend of the power industry.

Futrcash - Nice article - glad we're both invested in ARSC and CPTC. ARSC caters more so to the public, while CPTC caters more so to the utilities. Not sure which is the better investment - what do you think?
