We aren't talking about installing coal power plants in people's houses the way we're talking about installing solar and batteries in people's houses


People use gas generators, though, and it’s not like you have to go back further than my grandfather’s lifetime to have factories or other industrial buildings with oil/coal plants on-premise or directly powering machinery. Pollution and logistics pushed away but we didn’t start with a pervasive power grid.


I have a gas line directly into my apartment building, as do the vast majority of buildings in my area.
