Under the Technology Review article one person disagreed with my suggestion. To get a better understanding of the approach, next is my response:
Thank you very much for your inquiry. What I am suggesting is that the real cause is bad electricity regulation (the same may apply to gas and water networks) designed to protect the PSQ. Think there are two sequential stages of energy innovation: the first to upgrade the power industry as a whole to the digital revolution and the second to introduce new energy technologies.
Because of the bad electricity regulation enacted in the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the small systemic changes introduced under the name of deregulation produced huge value destruction, instead of the equally huge value creation that was expected, based on MIT's great research led by the giant late professor Fred C. Schweppe, as described in the book Spot Pricing of Electricity. Schweppe's warnings about the deregulation in the making were not considered because of the PSQ.
An example of the value destruction can be found in [the] post that is carried by the tweet:

Similarly, to see an example of value creation look at the post that is carried out by the tweet:

Under the Technology Review article "Why the Next Steve Jobs Will Be in Energy, Not Computers," written by Christopher Mims on 08/30/2011 and which at this momeent has 37 comments, I added the following comment:
Hi everyone,
Christopher Mims is most likely right that the next Steve Jobs will be in energy. Energy is the most pressing issue. In several years water will be added, as they are both tightly interdependent. If the replacement of Steve Jobs comes along, he will most likely make a valuable proposal to end customers that they will not expect but love. So maybe, hobbyist will not be as important as they used to be before Apple changed the rules of the game.
This is my post number 100 under this Technology Review site, commenting about the highest level architecture of the power industry, which means that I have concentrated my effort on design, design, design, since 1992.
Yesterday, I wrote a comment under Kevin Bullis' article "Can ARPA-E Solve Energy Problems?" asking "What Would Steve Jobs Do About Energy Innovation?" Today, I received a comment, whose response I suggest may interest some of you.

Hi Dennis,
Is your idea to make a shift from large central stations to tiny end-customers' electricity conversion with hydrogen home production? Is this technology open to compete with other technologies such as end-customers' solar and wind? What's do you expect the government to do to provide a good electricity regulation that attracts the new Steve Jobs participation?

Under Kevin Bullis' article Can ARPA-E Solve Energy Problems? in Technology Review, I posted the following comment:
Hi Kevin,Note: the actual poll can be found in the upper left corner of this webpage.
I sort see what would Bill Gates do right now about energy innovation. But, what would Steve Jobs do?
You wrote that “Bill Gates warned that energy innovation moves a lot slower than innovation in software.” I guess there is a big difference between the playing fields between software and energy in terms of regulation: little for software, and a lot for energy. In that case, the existence of a powerful status quo (PSQ) in energy results in a huge barrier to innovations that can be considered as bad regulation .
What if Gates is not concentrating on that key issue, which it's not then that “underfunding is delaying the rate of progress,” but the PSQ? Suppose for a moment that the real problem of short term innovation is the result of having a PSQ. To see what sort of reactions might emerge, I started a poll in blogger ( http://bit.ly/GMH057 ) that says:
Let’s say one country has a good electricity regulation, meaning it doesn’t have a PSQ. A new Steve Jobs makes a proposal to customers that they don’t expect but love. What will the proposal do?
-- spread like crazy without delay.
-- be delayed in countries with PSQ.
-- be blocked in countries with PSQ.
-- none of the above.
