First I would like to say that there is no such thing as a "grid." Grid implies that there would be some sort of central generation and organized distribution system. What we have is a loose association of small, medium, and large power companies that each have their own systems of overhead as well as underground distribution systems. As such, if whatever portion of the so-called "grid" were to fail, there would be no great calamity. At worst, a large metropolitan area would lose their power. The rest of the country would continue on with business as usual.
Next, I would like to say that ALL power is solar. It is stored as coal, oil, natural gas, wood, hydro, or whatever else grew and became fuel BECAUSE OF THE SUN!!! So called solar power is simply trying to bypass the natural process and convert directly from sun to electric. So far, this has met with very limited success. Equipment is expensive and requires maintenance. Wind also has its drawbacks. After all, those wind turbines need to be somehow secured in high winds, and generate nothing when the wind dies down.
These "feel good" ideas have their place strictly as backup or supplemental systems. Period. Would technology have been developed to make this mainstream if there were no other choice?? Maybe, maybe not.
More importantly, look into the motives of those doing the protesting. There are a few continual complainers with an agenda followed by paid activists. The paid activists don't care if you build the dam, the bridge, the development or whatever. They are there for a paycheck. Pure and simple. Just like meat - the beef people carry on against chicken. The pork people want to call their product white meat. The chicken people are telling us that red meat is bad for us. It just all comes down to a question of whose ox is gored.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
