Stamford attempts to takes charge of it's electricity needs

Smack dab in the middle of one of the most congested corners of the US electric grid (if not THE most congested), Stamford is considering taking matters into its own hands. This article from the Stamford Times makes a compelling case for distributed generation. Instead of relying on an aged and teetering transmission grid, Stamford (or parts of it) would generate its own power from clean local sources. This would be a very smart move and hopefully other population centers will follow suit.
