Baby steps. Eventually we will have a world wide d.c. grid where the sun
will shine and the wind will blow somewhere on the planet during your
summer, autumn,, spring, winter and night.

Unlikely. We don't want to co-operate with our nearest neighbours, so why
think a world wide agreement possible?

Well our language is closer to American than it is French or German.
Maybe you should ask why we have been at war with our closest neighbours more than with our fathest neighbours.
