And there is so much central command and control by the feds of our energy infrastructure that I wouldn’t trust investor owned utilities to make the generation, transmission, and distribution capacity available, either.

Your distrust is valid, IMHO. There’s too much fed money being pumped into the system to believe utilities — investor-owned or otherwise — are making rational forward-looking decisions. And that goes for many other entities besides IOU (in my locale, local government is an example).
The cynical part of me believes that it would be a bait and switch and intenional lack of power capacity would be used to control and keep people in urban areas.
