All of this is a bit bupkis without taking into consideration the cost of grid, distribution, maintenance - and especially the quasi monopolistic and massively bureaucratic powers that operate those systems.
Energy prices to business and consumers are staggering, and the 'transport' fees are proving to be a substantial portion of that. The 'Sunshine List' in Ontario, the government list used to publicise all civil servants making over $100K frankly was very focused on the electricity grid providers, with average wages multiple times the national average, and large swaths earning over $100K even a decade ago when that used to mean a lot.
Start to show us prices being reduced to consumers (or significantly increased consumption) and then we can talk about the great future.
The story is nice, but it's only halfway there.
