@VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen as every residential rooftop solar user will tell you, at great length, regardless of whether you asked, long after you begged them to stop: generating one's own power makes a person hyper-aware of the energy they're using simply because of how much they love bragging about the energy they're producing vs consuming.

They will also tell you that an increasingly decentralized electrical grid dilutes the political power of the investor-owned utilities.
