Part or our problem is our antiquated top down power grid. The way we have pieced our power grid together over the last hundred years has somewhat painted us into a corner in regards to making a major conceptual change that would allow us to easily apply new technologies.
We need to consider decentralizing our power generation into a bottom up approach but the existing system makes that transition quite complex and costly. Not to mention special interest and corporation pushback.
Here is an interesting article on a bottom up decentralized power system. Once the micro grids are in place you can think of each power source as a black box. Each black box would be whatever plug & play power source comes along in the future.
