39. My sister paid more than $10,000 to get utility power to her house... |

The existing power lines didn't seem that far away, but that's what it cost her about fifteen years ago. Nowadays solar or wind is looking very good wherever electric utility service doesn't already exist.
BTW, much of the existing rural and semi-rural electric service in the United States was originally subsidized or installed by government agencies.
