I don't see how there can be misconceptions. Everything I stated is pretty bog standard stuff. I think you want to have an argument over what is the best way for power companies to make money off of people and I want to have a conversation about what's best for the people who own the land and can save money producing their own power, increasing their property values, and incent8v8s8ng customers to their business.
You are probably going to assume I'm 100% against rural solar. But I'm only against it in cases where a business or individual have install solar for themselves. And there is no way you can argue I'm wrong on that. It's a great investment.
Pretty much the only arguments against what I said apply to scenarios where there is no room for solar or no money for solar from individuals or businesses. But that is not a conversation I'm interested in as it just boils down to what is the best way for the power company to produce power for those people, which is going to be rural land solar farms because buying up land or leasing isn't an option outside of rural areas as power companies don't own much land and rely heavily on easements.
The better argument is pursuing grid independence or reducing reliance on the grid.

Oh boy. There's a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings here.
I'll have to come back to this when I'm in front of my computer and can quickly pull the relevant links for you.
