I'm not sure I understand how what you say contradicts what the previous poster said? Can you elaborate? I think the point implied in the previous comment was that pushing into a grid locally is much cheaper for the grid operator than distributing power from a far away power plant?

It's not an outright contradiction, just an explanation of why I doubt their claim. I am not myself making a claim.

Given that they are correcting a "common misconception", I think it's entirely appropriate to ask for a source.
