self-sufficiency has a cost, hence my "economic" question. Also, steam transmission is way less efficient than electricity transmission.

It does appear people are willing to pay those costs :)

Also, electricity transmission appears to be much more expensive than generation. On my PG&E bills in California, delivery costs 2.5x as much per kWh as generation for 100% renewable power.
