RE: I agree with you 100%!!

At present it costs most people three times more to get their electric power "off the grid". There are exceptions, for example those so far away that the capital cost of running power lines is prohibitive.

There are no similar economies of scale with computing, although there are apparent economies of scale when you consider reliability and system management. I say, "apparent" because when you use the cloud you must trust the cloud operator to retain your data safely and to not disclose it without your permission. (Legally in the U.S. the government can compel the cloud provider to disclose your data without a warrant, but if your computer is in your home, legally they can not access your data without a warrant. Whether the government obeys the law is another question...)
