We don't have a choice, that is why it's good for everyone to create their own business, no matter how little, so that you plan the way the customers/end-users pay the cost of your bills, that's how it works, the brains behind establishments don't bear the cost, they pass it down sohehow. So, this is not isolated from the regular ways of business, service and production, the end-users always take the cost after the company has carefully taken into consideration every bill/cost, they will now pass it down to the customers.
Be it tax, tariff and additional cost whatsoever, they all have their ways of passing it down to us directly or indirectly.
This. Utility companies take advantage of the fact that we need their services to impose the additional fees upon us. But it has always been this way, it's just becoming more apparent nowadays due to these big companies.

What do you think, can individual solar not be used to replace the public electricity instead in those areas in United States? Or people earn a lot of money and able to pay for the electricity than other states?
IMO this at least gives the people a choice at the very least. Still, they need to pay for installation and maintenance to have access to solar energy, and that itself isn't cheap.
