Ultimately how useful is the high uptake in individual states? My understanding was that the US had a lot of weirdness going on about provision of utilities over state lines.

(Mind you here in Oz I think we have our own state politics involved, but I guess at least we have fewer states )

The US has three separate grids: east, west, and Texas. Who are oddly separatist about their badly managed energy system.

Ah, it was probably me hearing about Texas and then extrapolating that to the rest of the US. Probably not a great idea on my part. Thanks for setting me straight :)
