Have you seen the deficits the governments run?

Should we foot the bill for connecting every rural home because people wanted to move out of the city - increasing the urban sprawl? Maybe if there 5-10 people at a time in batches they could do it at cost. . but custom jobs for every individual homeowner, come on be realistic instead of entitled.

In general I'd expect it to be far more cost effective to enact a massive project to wire every house, than wire a single house

So that's true, but also we don't need new small farms.
