Local governments are already disrupting the status quo. They went after coal and destroyed it. Now they are going after oil and gas. Energy companies, like XCEL energy, in my area, are actually encouraging the government to "force" them away from non renewable energies. (increasing their Solar and wind generation.) I have worked in the energy sector for decades and I see that something is coming. The big companies are already on board and will employ any new techs that are revealed to us.
