To: Tell It Right
A lot of folks do their own house but as the main means of supplying power for a large number............. IIRC there is a plan to use 30 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico for wind generation. To supply 11 million homes. Uh, WTAF? Just wait until a Cat 5 meanders by. Pretty sure that new Ford EV F-150 aint’t gonna power your house for 3 or 4 weeks while they try to get the power back on. 😵💫🤬

That 30 million boils down to 2.7 acres per house. Not sure if they are including businesses with the 30 million. Insanity reigns bigly.

If you live near the Gulf of Mexico you ought to consider putting solar onto your house. Assuming all the other variables are in your favor (you own your home, plan to live there at least 10 years, metal roof or 25-year shingles, little to no shade on your roof, much of your roof faces south).
When the power goes out for weeks after a hurricane you'll produce your own power. But that's only if you don't sell power back to the grid.
