I agree that there are some flaws with the hypothetical situation. For instance, it can never be completely free to pruduce the energy and there are always ways to make money from it. But to "play along," there are selfish motives for producing an energy for nothing and distributing it to people for nothing. It is an awesome engineering achievement worthy of pride. Also, imagine every store and industry operating without the cost of electricity? The overhead cost would go down and inevitably prices go down, which benefits you. And if for no other reason, at least you get free energy out of it
