copied from a lib site:

small is beautiful thinking hasn't sunk into solar yet

The solar cos. want to build this installation 200+ mi. from LA in the middle of nowhere - for what? To provide power to LA? Just put up the panels on every home in LA and call it a mega installation. Get it done. We need 300 million solar roofs now, not some mega project 200 miles from where it's needed.

They want centralized control with high barrier to entry.

What you propose makes sense - unless you are trying to monetize a scarce resource.

One of the biggest reasons why distributed solar (or distributed anything) isn't taking off is because if everyone generated their own power there would be no central control over energy profits like there are with oil.

They don't want distributed power. They want a centralized power generation facility with a huge capital outlay to prevent competition.
