My local GP from where I grew up was one of the people who in the 1970's contributed to this set of studies. The importance for the green movements is that is shows that a decentralised power system that reduces the need for such large amounts of cross country cabling would also mean a preventative medicine bonus, thus saving some costs in the Health service....
It's this kind of cross-departmental, cross-social linkage that we have to make and push in order to help build impetus for change.
So to recap: decentralised power generation and saving power is good because; it makes us less vulnerable to terrorsit attacks, it saves power otherwise lost in distribution, it makes life healthier for people otherwise forced to live close to power lines. Anything else?
