However, since most electrical power is used in such mundane things as work places, to keep from "selling the power across state lines" you would also have to keep from selling the products produced with that power. Besides, the states are not anything like intrinsic self sufficient objects. Most of them have no hydro power, even if they wanted it. Many have little or no wind power, and some are very deficient in solar power during most of the year. They also have various distributions of chemical resources. Expand your thinking. Why would a political entity identify our power resources? Only one reason. So those who want the power, have to decide how much they want it, rather than buying it from far far away where all the problems there can be hidden. Sounds like a whole lot of our problems and begins with thinking that the political state is a useful idea for resource planning. More like a serious impediment.
