I live in California and according to your profile so do you. Near where I live, the major reason for power failures is PG&E's failure to protect the power lines. Profit first for them, power outages and forest fires are the result. This has zero to do with solar and wind power.

My personal take on solar and wind is that the more we install the less dependent on fossil fuels we become, making out entire planet cleaner. It will save our planet (well, once we get rid of republicans for good). This will take time because the electric moguls want their profit and the hell with the planet.

And it is interesting that your Internet runs on solar and you hate batteries, yet you are able to post at night? Something does not compute.

I have a solar generator (4kwh capacity battery) powered by solar panels. We get power outages here (see above) so having a charged up solar generator will power the fridge for 3 days (as an example).

My plan is to use the generator to power specific needs - like my router and Mac to start off with, then the TV and streaming device. Then I want to power the fridge with the generator - 1kwh per day. My average kwh usage is about 14-20kwh per day.
