    Solar power and other renewables are, by nature, decentralized. A single solar array won’t be able to cover the needs of a data center during the night or on a cloudy day either. But much more importantly: While there is obviously big players in renewables, they don’t produce oligarchs in the same way fossil fuels do. Power likes to make deals with power, because together they reach new heights of exploitation.
