Both your examples are reasons for the consolidation of existing infrastructure. My point was that you couldn't break up a coal plant, but with renewables they are already broken up into small pieces. Putting the pieces together at one location instead of distributing them as they exist naturally seems like a poor design choice to me. And I wonder if it is motivated by the fear of loss of control and money more than just a poor decision?
