It boils down to a centralized versus a de-centralized approach. Collectivists always opt for the centralized solution. I’m looking forward to the day when each home can install and use a device to generate its own electrical power that provides all the energy a family would need, without relying on a “grid.”
I’m waiting for the day (that might come) when you paint 3 or 4 layers of “paint” on your roof and generate your own solar power.
Just walk into any Home Depot and pick up a few buckets of solar power in a DIY kit.

That day is now! Just install a big ass generator and fill er up with diesel!
That ability exists but is expensive.
Natural gas powered generators would do nicely
ditto nuclear packages
