Plugging in at home seems to be a really good idea and would please just about everybody.--However the main drawback would be having all those power requirements happen at the same time.--The underground cables would probably get very hot.--Overhead cables carrying so much more power would be, perhaps, the only short term answer.--
Also so much cheaper to install and maintain.--( Be a bit unsightly though.-- )
