Technically thats not actually true. You could make your own electric with a windmill, watermill, solarpanels.
People could get together in small groups to fund a bigger project, and become independent of the big companies.
It already happens here in UK, some folk have put up a windmill and actually sell electric to the grid. If everyone did that the big boys are out the window.
I'm all for it.
Diesel in UK is now £1.28 a litre where I stay ...... it's getting ridiculous.
