With global electricity demand set to grow strongly, new technologies are opening up the massive potential of geothermal energy to provide around-the-clock clean power in almost all count...

But even so, a field full of solarpannels is still a small decentralized production unit compared to a coal fired powerplant.
The people deploying it. If you don’t want that to be a big utility company, then look into community solar.
