After we discovered fire (circa. 700,000BCE), we were smart enough not to play with it like some toy. Fire, energy as we had learned, can be a creative or a destructive force. It is agnostic to human ethos and deadly to fools and wise men alike.
Centralization is how you control energy at the beginning. Not decentralization. Supply an infinitude of energy and put one person or two in charge of it.
Yes. Weird, huh. I mean think of a hydroelectric power dam like the Three Gorges dam in China. At 22GW electric power capacity and with each kWh of electric energy going for 0.075 dollars, China makes $1.65 million worth of electricity every hour.
But how many people run the dam? Probably less than 10 people. I mean it could run itself.
