I want to say supply and demand rules but then again our city/parish (county) goverment sets what the electricty company charges per watt. It is a delicate ballance of giving them enough to make a profit for their share holders and supplying energy for our homes.
If enough people were to start generating their own electricty then the demand for new power plants would be less so the cost may come down for the ones left buying it.
But unless you lived in a coal area the devastation to our forest because of the increase in wood use for fuel may offset any gain you made.
So the question is do you have enough land to support that much wood and the time to cut it??? Most do not. Even people with hundreds of acres most likely use it for pasture or crops and could not grow wood fast enough to keep up with the steam engine use. Even with enough land do you think 1 in 10 are devoted enough to take the time each week to cut that much wood.
Look good at your electric bill and you should see generating the electricty is not real high. It is the fuel surcharge that drives the bill up. And is that the electricty company's fault or his fuel supplyer's fault.
