Those "massive energy farms" are projects that are distributed generation compared to nuclear and coal - something you never tire of trying to denigrate.

There are going to be elements to a renewable grid that will be corporately controlled, but that doesn't negate the nature of what emerges from distributed generation, a smart grid serving distributed generation, and the fact that solar panels are destined to be a price/unit commodity. It will be a system where the central function of the grid is to "top off" home supply and even out the distribution of small scale generation. And if someone doesn't want to be part of that grid, it is going to be increasingly possible to shuck it entirely for a large part of the population.

Nuclear?

Not so much. Still and forever beholden to the masters of evil.
