The study pushes the boundaries of distributed generation by assuming that local solar can be installed sufficient to meet 100% of local demand, far beyond the conservative “15% rule” that utilities typically apply. Both solar and wind are viable; to the extent that the geography (wind), atmospherics (solar) cooperate and most importantly, the residents will to accept. Of course this would be a departure from those who empirically state that "This is the way it will be!". And then proceed to stuff it down the throats of all. But there are regions that are not conducive to solar. And others that are not conducive to wind. And perhaps regions that are not hospitable to either. To infer, as you have in your post, that solar is a be all, end all which is applicable across the board, seems misleading to me. Perhaps a bit of moderation in what you preach Wharfster, would lend credibility to your posting on this thread (contrary to others, who just rant).
