In the hierarchy of moving things around, from difficult to easy:
- natural gas (building a pipeline)
- electricity (generation, transformers, high voltage lines, etc.)
- bits (copper, fiber, microwave, cellular, satellite all are viable for low bandwidth operation)
It's orders of magnitude in terms of cost difference.
