Vast majority of the world's population inhabits coastal areas. Plus, if Enron can run a scam where it sends power out of CA and then sells it back, I think it's pretty well settled that where the generating plant is located is not terribly limiting on power supply (though *some* energy is lost in the lines, to be sure).
