IMHO windmills are a joke. Solar is viable with todays tech except for two glaring things. Storage cost and night. Without superconductivity at room temp where you can feed the current in and hold it indefinitely and pull it out as needed you rely on batteries. It is massively cost prohibitive to meet peak loads from a battery bank. You need backup. Why even bother with solar if there is backup that is as cheap or cheaper? With solar to H direct conversion the storage thing is no longer a problem if it is efficient enough and costs less than the backup. Use a hydrogen fuel cell for the remaining electrical needs and be totally off grid home energy wise.

You’re going to have much in the way of “stranded” assets AKA stranded costs taking that route.

Sounds like you’re still wedded to big-plant, central generation with transmission and distribution networks, albeit with “superconductivity”.

Hydrino tech and local generation is going to take its toll on those assets ...

I take it you’ve NOT reviewed the material at those link I provided above (how could you- its only been minutes ago!) ... it took me a year of researching, looking, reading white papers, reviewing the experimental techniques used to verify Mills’ work, so, I’m not expecting you’d grasp the big picture in just a couple minutes.

And, if you have no technical background, well, that’s another thing entirely.
