The French village with too much money to spend - thanks to a wind farm

4. THIS is why the corporations who own the "power processing" are shaking

in their boots and are fighting like wounded animals.

Once PEOPLE are able to use the wind & the sun, there is no more humongous business-model that allows these greedy bastards to make the moolah they are used to.

Lots of folks here are too young to remember back when small towns OWNED their water-delivery systems, their power generation facilities...the ones who were very small banded together in co-ops. Why?

They paid salaries to the people who actually operated the systems, but they OWNED the physical plants. They did that so the costs could be kept to a minimum...as a service to the community...not as a way to skin their customers bald, and pocket all the profits for themselves.
