And finally, saying that solar is cheaper may be true in the summer, but how will you heat houses in the winter with solar? Only run the plant during nights and winter or whatever are the peak hours. Obviously this will probably make the individual kwh:s even more expensive, but peak hour power is much more valuable when other sources are not enough.
Store the electricity in a car battery. Have a closet full of car batteries and walla, electricity during the night. You probably wouldn't even need a whole closet. Use wind during the winter until the freezing rain grinds it to a halt then burn wood in your fireplace and pray to god that you don't freeze yourself. Winters have been so mild anyway, except for a week or two blizzard. Stock up on food and wait it out.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
