They are just as greedy as every other corporation, from Mircosoft to GM to Mobile Oil.

But one difference. They are highly regulated. If generation costs fall, then the price the customer pays for power will drop. Big reason, in most states, the Commission that regulates the utilities, and sets the rates they can charge, is either ELECTED, or appointed by elected officials. Which is a good thing. If they had the monopoly power the do have, without regulatory oversight, they would, as the greedy corporations (almost as greedy as most people in fact) charge much more for power.

So, in some cases, regulation is a good thing.

And, If FF modules delivering 5MW roll out of factories for under 1 million each, the price of power will, in a very few years, fall though the floor. Then many of us will, literaly, air condition the back yard (just like I tell my kids when they leave the back door open, hee ,hee)
