The more people that leave the rural areas for the cities makes it less profitable to serve the existing rural folks.

I grew up in the Bay Area, lived in 'rural' Humboldt and Placer counties, and can say I would never move back to the bay no matter how much the technocrats would desire it.

Pretty happy with my ~30k town nowhere near California TBH...

And you should be charged the actual cost of maintaining the costs of that small town too.

That’s fine that you want to stay put, but GP is suggesting (I think) that others shouldn’t have to subsidize your choice to live in a rural area where power service is (currently) more expensive.
