Distributed power generation can never match the efficiency of centralized, for obvious reasons. This may not matter for renewables, as there's no fuel burned

Distributed power generation can never match the efficiency of centralized, for obvious reasons.
This may not matter for renewables, as there's no fuel burned ... but ... I doubt it will turn out that way. So a larger cost will be much more efficiently distributed amongst it's users.
- way2throw 13y agoBy efficient I meant it achieves the same result with less cost, not that it minimizes electricity waste. If distributed solar "will also reduce the size of the economy", doesn't that mean it's more efficient?
