Well that depends on factors outside of the technology.

For example if a centralized power production facility was controlled by a community and used its excess capacity to produce Ammonia which was then used to provide fertilizer to increase crop yields to provide more free food to the community. Would that benefit the industry or the citizens more?

Scaling laws are real but we can collectively use them for our collective benefit or we can continue to allow a set of self-selecting few to continue to use them for their own personal gain.
