A more successful approach to introducing FF generators into the grid might be to start with smaller municipalities and remote sites which will demonstrate reliability and lack of expense. Getting the Dept Of Defense on board will also jump start the project as they provide a major funding source. Once they prove capable, you can start building to provide for increased energy demand (new coal/nuke/gas plants become defunct). This allows the current sources to be phased out over a period of 25-50 years and provides a safety net in the case of problems with FF in the near future. If FF plants show aptitude at producing energy on demand then they also have a place immediately as spinning reserves in the current power grid allowing less waste from the fossil fuel plants (which would quickly lower operating and thus end user costs). All in all a stepped and measured approach at introduction and eventual domination seems to make the most sense to me.
