Most people live in big cities. They congregate at high densities. Personal electric production is not possible in big cities. City dwellers live in high rise apartments, condos and row houses. There is no place to put all that waste heat. A personal electric production system with an efficiency of less then 1% will produce so much waste heat in the city, that it will literally melt the streets.
