The combination of decreasing costs of solar and rising electricity bills means that “end-user” grid parity has been achieved in several key European markets, and in Australia and the south-west of US. This means that consumers can reduce the cost of their bills by more than the cost of the solar system Rather than simply building more centralized mega energy plants, instead outfit every house, every inhabited building, home, office, school etc. in the country with its own source of energy where possible, whether rooftop solar, roof top wind (yep they have them) etc. This would also save on power lost in long distance transmission. Decentralized energy make much more sense. As a side benefit, giving everyone their own source of energy, de-centralizing it, would unchain us from financial slavery to some mega energy plant. No more being subject to arbitrary price increases. No more rolling blackouts. And no need to build or maintain massive infrastructure to transmit that energy to customers many miles away, draining valuable energy in the transmission and blighting the land.
