Basically go from this:
-> abm checks all energy nodes
--> abm runs energy_distrib on master
-> random on_timer events on blocks on different timescales eat energy

To this:
-> net_master has a timer on a predictable timestamp
--> master force loads all members
--> energy_distrib is ran on master node
--> master node calls _sparktechwork (or similar function) on all nodes which perform work and eat energy

Each energy node would have a _sparktechwork function that does the actual sparktech related task, the on_timer function would be replaced with a default implementation from sparkapi. It will be enabled and disabled by the net rebuilding code automatically.

Also, use the "elapsed" function from on_timer to catch up lost stuff, this way, unlike an abm, we can catch up everything that should have happened in that time :D (assuming all sparkwork functions are coded to perform the operation and don't artificially delay anything)

Should also consider whether "enabled" state is considered for grid energy distribution
