We need a paradigm shift and soon.

In 1896, armed with Tesla’s AC patents, George Westinghouse won the contract (against Edison and D.C.) to build the ancestor of today’s power generation facilities at Niagra Falls. (The War of the Currents)

Have a look at part of Edison’s campaign to discredit AC power:

1964 is generally the year given for the advent of the first supercomputer. If the computing power from 1964 is laughable compared to what you are working on today, why are we still using nineteenth century models for the generation and distribution of electrical energy?
