I think the main point is that solar PV is a technology that
does not require massive infrastructure. It's something that

Sure they do. While you are dicking around with solar cells the big
power companies will build a solar-powered steam plant with *huge*
servo'd mirrors. I put pencil-to-paper once upon a time... you can do
marvelously if you've got the acreage.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
