That's not actually correct--you're just trading one "grid" for another.  The most economical distribution for gaseous hydrocarbons is natural gas, so you'd have to literally lay more gas lines in the ground and then watch the price go sky high because that would be one h*lluva' capital expense, more of an operating expense and we don't have the gas capacity to make up for the coal you're going to try and get away from.


I wish I had a more optimistic answer for you.  I do like a couple of these gadgets that you've linked and might even buy some if they get them commercial, cost effective and demonstrate decent reliability.  I especially liked that one electrical storage device (that's unlike a conventional battery) but, apparently, it requires an awful lot of elemental sodium.  They're going to have a tough time economically making those.  D@mmit!
