Electricity is basically a worldwide utility that is easily accessible to consumers. But when it comes to the energy industry as a whole, conditions turn into strict regulation, a monopoly, or even complete chaos. Electricity production itself is only half the battle using existing networks, matching supply and demand and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from their production is a difficult task.
It all depends on the region in which it needs to be sold. I read that such power plants are used even in New York.
