I'm every day more convinced that the only reasonable future of energy production is distributed solar and storage with microgrids at the neighbourhood level or so.

Anything bigger in scale is prone to being shittified to the limit by public entities.

We had this in the 19th century. We moved to a centralised grid because when you don't use it to rent seek it is vastly more efficient.

I can tell you've never dealt with an HOA or Strata before. Neighbourhood-level organizations of busybodies are way ahead of everyone else on winning the race to shittification.

Putting them in charge of your electricity won't be all sunshine and rainbows.
