An interesting study/ You might want to address the future of the industry as well as the past. One of the reasons why California energy rates got so out of hand and disrupted many businesses was the need to buy additional energy "off the grid" from out of state sources when demand exceeded supply in certain areas. As a result, the "smart grid" attempts to level supply and demand by monitoring low demand in certain areas and simply diverting power from those areas into others within which demand is exceeding supply. This allows proper distribution within a single provider's capabilities without the need for expense procurement of additional energy from outside sources.
This is the wave of the future. The technology is fully matured and being applied now. One significant example is Texas, where this scheme is contributing greatly to economic growth overall.
