And yes ...they can be built out, AWAY from population centers. They are called 'Transmission Lines' for a reason.
First, I know where Mikey lives and he between a rock and a hard place, or really, between a power plant, a refinery and the airport. I haven't heard him ***** much about it, since all of that was there when he bought.

But to solve the energy issues in CA by letting the "government" control your usage is assinine. The problem has been a lack of development.

As far as transmission lines go, no one wants those either. And the farther you are from the generation, the more is lost in the transmission.
