Eh, we’ve done pretty well with transmitting power. So although I do agree that spreading the load is always better, it should not be compromising the costs. As putting it “everywhere” also comes with some downsides.
Transmission losses are quite large and long distance transmission lines use fairly limited resources. Just getting a grid connection is the bottleneck in renewable projects in the UK right now.
