Combine that with the coming of nanotube-based supercapacitor electric storage units and the day of distributed power generation (where every home generates its own electricity and shares the excess with other users) becomes reality within ten years.

As long as we're doing this, it would be nice to eliminate the wastful conversion of AC back to DC that most electronics must do, and create standard DC plugs for most electronic devices so that homes that already generate/store power can leave it in DC form...

Actually, it's better to have AC because you can transmit electric power a lot further with AC than with DC.
