This is why we need a government option who will do it without regard to ROI. This needs to be done in the rural areas.

I hope you are joking! It doesn't matter if it is a private company or the government, if you want to build something, it has to be paid for. If you build it in an area that will never be profitable, or charge less than it costs, then where is that money coming from?
Businesses don't do it because it means bankruptcy.

The government does it all the time and look at the mess it has created. All it has done is created an entitlement society of people who think they deserve anything they want, without regards to cost, even it they obtain it by means of taking it from someone else (through taxes, of course).

So how did we end up with electricity over almost all of the country again?

T A X E S !!!!
And then having people in cities pay twice what it cost to deliver electricity so that rural users could pay 10% of what it cost. Guess what? People in cities won't do that anymore. They don't care about rural users anymore.

If they like food, maybe they should care about rural users...
