Does it make sense to look at producing a power hungry product and selling it as a way to sidestep all the bureaucracy and monopolies in the public utility space?

Or perhaps it would make more sense to colocate with someone already producing such a product and selling them electricity so that you don't actually have to deal with making the product yourself?

I'm thinking aluminum, hydrogen, synthetic hydrocarbons, etc.

I'm completely uninformed, correct me if this is a stupid idea.
