My statement has nothing to do with electricity isolation. It has to do with the fact that systems within a nation are integrated at an economic level, especially those that are socialized. You can dig holes and fill them in your back yard to your heart's content, but you can't do something that impacts watersheds. You can use electricity, but for certain uses it might be regulated, because in many instances the electricity production and distribution is socialized. We invest billion in electricity generation to support industry and infrastructure, not to support wasteful speculation. If someone wants to put up solar panels, or generate their electricity independently with no externalizations i.e. no pollution then go ahead. But otherwise, it's a giant waste. People are literally paying slightly higher electricity bills to support speculation, not good.
