Don't know why they would bother, the enviro-lawyers would never let that be sold.
Wasn't that once said about houses having their own natural gas and diesel generators? I think some of that "inefficiency" is utility company spin for various reasons, one of which is they wouldn't want people making their own power, particularly in lieu of how unreliable DWP and other power company infrastructures have become.
