    The main problem is that retail electric prices are mostly not about generating cost; the cost of maintaining wiring, transformers, and such dominates in most places. And rooftop solar is more expensive than utility-scale solar, so it would get crowded out.

      see that is why I said the corps should pay for the infrastructure and we encourage individuals to produce massively. it would be the fastest way to build the whole thing out as individuals can have stuff going in less than a year. I mean they are the ones who need it so bad. they could always not build the data centers if its to mch for them.
