Roger that, and I hope they do well with it.
Small-scale solar and wind power works well -- household or farm-size. It has been doing well for a few decades in the case of solar electric, and since the 1940's in the case of wind.
Large-scale solar and wind both have problems, mainly storage because the output varies over the course of the day. For large scale I favor hydro and nuclear, and recognize the necessity of fossil fuels at least for the next few decades until we can start building more nuke plants.
Anyway, my house is off-grid, and I've run on solar (PVs) since 1989. Tonight I'm posting this from that same system. The independence is a positive factor, the lack of a monthly bill is nice, and no power outages. Small-scale renewable rocks.
Good for you! There are plans out there for micro nuclear generators that would power individual neighborhoods. Unfortunately, I don't think the government or the power industry is ready to let go of 'The Grid'.
