Something big is starting to develop in the U.S. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has proposed to give distributed energy resources (DERs)—batteries, solar panels, smart energy-management software—access to markets where they can compete directly with big power plants.

With about half of the U.S getting its energy from competitive markets, the proposal could trigger a massive switch to renewables sooner than we had anticipated.
