@jwildeboer I've found that efficiency incentives are not the same as profit incentives, at least not directly. Profit incentives tend to form centralized systems that operate on optimizing for their own version of efficiency, which can look very different from what is prioritized for those outside those systems. This isn't just for energy, food is another big one. We can all technically grow our own produce. Nature gives us a "framework" to follow. Energy is more abstract, it's of our design.
