You already know my response. When its cost effective to get off the grid, more people will be doing it. The truth is that 12 cents a kilowatt hour is pretty tough to beat. Still, I can't wait to get off the grid and build my bunker as soon as its affordable.
I'm also always weary of the, "these companies are making billions!" arguments. I wish they would talk about company profits in terms of rates of return (meaningful when making comparisons between companies) rather then raw dollars (meaningless when making comparisons between companies).
Where I'd agree with them is that electric utility competition, at least in my area, is pretty weak.

"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
