I used to agree with you, because if you look at the system as a whole, centralizing generation is more efficient. But I am currently paying 2/3 of my per kWh rate just for distribution. PGE (the northern california utility) is some combination of negligent, corrupt, and standard fare profit seeking, that I simply don't trust them to pass on the efficiency savings to me.
