    Solar power, yes definitely. Is power not a basic utility?

      Good point but I would say it’s hard to monopolize solar power since it’s easy to just buy your own panels. Wheras it’s not feasible to buld your own power plant.

        Wasn’t that the point though? You’re arguing that small scale power doesn’t exist when it clearly does.

          I never said that. Small scale power is always the way to go! Be it small hydro or solar panels!

          It’s very different to have small localized power and distribution networks than controlling a whole country’s power and then giving that whole network to a private company to manage.
