This is where distributed solar and home battery systems will come into play.
Everything does not have to be provided at the utility scale level of service.
And yes my home installed solar is lower cost that what the utility charges with NO subsidy. Of course I did take the credits and the payback is just that much faster.
Brings up another interesting aspect about future electricity production. If we can decentralize the grid sources, is it more efficient? Offhand, I would say yes it is just from the distribution standpoint. Maybe some of the grid operators could weigh in on that.
