....we can do better and cut out the middle-men: how about RTGs?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator

....for decades, the US and the Soviets have powered remote applications, including satellites, with RTGs. Imagine, every home on your block powered for ten years by an affordable, clean, nuclear-electric generator. The basic technology is there if can be developed, made secure, safe and tamper-proof.

....of course, without wall-street middle-men placing their greedy hand in your pocket every month, we'll never see this technology come to fruition in the US....unless China develops our new future home RTG?
