Our semi-privatized energy grid [View all]

[SHRED]

Centralized green energy or decentralized green energy?
I think this is the real question.

Big solar and wind farms are favored by private interests. The big monied Wall St interests. The reason is that it perpetuates the ever increasing consumer electric bill. Us consumers remain beholden to an energy company, it's share holders, and it's profit margins under this model.

Instead of putting thousands of PV panels in the desert for instance I favor rooftop PV. Rooftop would relieve both the environment AND the consumer's electric bill plus the huge line loss via transmission cables is all but eliminated.

But alas...sadly we've allowed for privatization and they have other plans to keep us addicted to their rates.
