Renewable energy production

And individuals can buy commercial off the shelf (COTS) wind and solar, associated battery and power conditioning systems, and go off grid right now. ROI varies depending on location but for a substantial portion of single family dwellings in the USA, it is a net winner.
I have a friend in TX who has a modest solar PV array and generates enough to more than cover charging his Nissan Leaf EV. I think he has over 70,000 miles on it. No farting machinery there. I'm nearing 50k miles on my battery EV. No gas but I do charge from the grid. The geography here doesn't favor solar and my modest homestead is not well suited for wind machines. However within 15 miles there are 11 large wind turbines of the 1 to 3 MW size. I see this renewable energy production moving ahead faster than I thought possible a few years ago. I have even seen some in the industry predicting Moore's Law for PV.
