I think decentralized energy production is a great idea. I have six solar panels on the roof of my bus and they provide all the power I need. I realize that's not as effective in an urban environment, but I much prefer small batches to huge grids.
Small, resilient, independent, diverse sources of energy are more robust against environmental changes, state violence, and monopolies-at-a-distance.
Additionally, the direct costs of centralization in the form of transmission loss and voltage conversion are non-trivial.
