Economic Question

As a little nobody I have a little economic question. May be it should be called an economizing question. Why my electricity bill was so big if they are not doing the thing thy call very expensive?

Ok. I admit that building solar panels takes some initial investment. Big stations (may be) are harder to make then small home power stations. They will even have to hire an additional cleaning lady or two to dust the panels. That's all true. But nevertheless!!! (I better stop this paragraph and go to the new one).

In our small experience after we build the solar panels the expenses are almost over! Where did our electric bill money go before:

1. We were paying them salaries (to move papers from desk to desk :( ) .

2. We were subsidizing their fuel purchases (to burn it :( ).

3. We were maintaining their beloved outdated infrastructure, which is always overloaded by lazy consumers and ever expanding as the default option instead of being a plan B for emergency situations.

I do feel that to have a back up plan for an emergency electric supply is a great idea, but we must be clear that in a normal situation we do not need to use all those wires and loose electricity while transporting and transforming it all the time in such enormous quantities! Practically a big transformer can rest on a sunny day if a smaller one can make it. May be here I am wrong because I am not a pro, but the burning of fuel on a sunny day can be minimized for sure!

In my country salaries in the electrical company are among the best ones. They are fat! Following them in their nature killing ways is a shame. Unless they tap into renewable energy sources and make electricity cheaper, we need to withdraw from them our financial support and produce the bulk part of our home electricity locally by ourselves using solar panels and wind generators. When can you start?
