> it's possible for me to have my own solar system

Finally, some much needed progress towards Sagan's apple pie.

If its any consolation, with your solar system you have a shared massive fusion reactor
reply
The simplest form of a nuclear reactor is some small sphere of purified heavy metal put onto a cavity on a thick Be sphere and covered by another piece of the same metal. The reactor can be started up and shut down by lowering or lifting the top piece using a flathead screwdriver shoved between two pieces, which can kill anybody nearby if dropped and the pieces go ultra super critical. That has to be a lot simpler than even a basic solar cell by itself.

Surely this is satire. The reference to the screwdriver is what convinced me it is.

The nature of disruptive solutions is that they can be adopted easily at the bottom of the market - which means in this case people like you rather than at the centrally planned utility.
