    power is cheap, distribution is expensive. most of the cost of electricity is marketing, admin, and maintaining the distribution networks.

    most of the process you described is automated, very little cost for it to occur. again its the distribution that leads to large increases. have to pay the driver, have to move the load, have to get all the pre-reqs to each location to perform the process.
