I stand by my prediction that in 10 years we will have too much electricity, unless government stupidity steps in.
BTW I HATE ugly POS win turbines.

That's expensive and inefficient though. Grid scale power is by far the cheapest and easiest way to implement solar. Adding batteries and all the conversion equipment to each house is wasteful and expensive.
We really only need about 10% more generating capacity to take care of electric passenger vehicles, so generation isn't the colossal an issue to get over.
