I can see this taking off, for pro sports stadiums, here in the U.S. The taxpayers build the stadiums, then the pro teams sell the excess electricity for extra profit. Not that I'm bitter.

We loves us some stadiums in Seattle! We love them so much, we're still paying for the Kingdome til 2012, and we blowed that up long ago! The Sonics asked us for a stadium and we told them to go play in a tornado...
