gollark: Cost-efficiency's still a problem.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Also, I may be wrong but I think a lot of generation things are more efficient at larger scales rather than smaller ones.
gollark: I'm not sure that's a good thing, though - if you have more interconnected locations, they can load-balance in case of high demand.
gollark: Isn't it already *fairly* decentralized? Different regions have their own grids, sort of thing?
