        Electricity is a public utility. Profit shouldn’t come into the question. When it does you just end up using coal and gas, which isn’t good for the planet or people at all.

    One of many reasons is the issue of distribution at a distance. It’s terribly inefficient to deliver power to distant locations because you get drops the further you go. Another reason would be strategic. You don’t want to have too much infrastructure centralized on a single location in case of war.
