Yes electricity is abundant, well or easily made. There is more then enough sun, rain, wind etc. to make the price stupid cheap. But we cannot STORE enough energy currently, and that's the main problem.
Liquid metal battery seems to offer some hope in this regard.
Aren't there something like a billion very poor people in the world with no continuous access to electricity? I sincerely hope that they are going to get to take advantage of local, diverse micro-generation soon, but for now I'm going to guess that they would say that while the potential (pun intended) for electricity is abundant, electricity itself is not.
