The rocket stoves are the masonry type built right into corners of a house?
One thing that amuses me are the numbers on cost of their centralized “solar power stations”. They can buy a complete, independent solar panel unit with 20+ kw service for each home more cheaply than they can centralize it and send it out on wires to each of those homes.
Besides that, they’d create a huge number of installation and service jobs, the service jobs being permanent.
So, it really isn’t about ‘clean’ energy. It’s about centralization and awarding a new class of energy cronies with the money from monthly energy bills.

Yes! And there's no need for subsidies, rebates or tax credits. In my part of the West, about 1.5 kilowatts of charging is more than enough for a house without an electric clothes dryer, dishwasher, range or forced air heating. With a little practice, old-style percolator coffee pots even work fine.
For well water pumps, cisterns either with generators or solar power plants with slow pumps are fine. For those who use the National Electrical Code as a reference, have knowledge of PV solar systems and experience in electrical work safety, a self-install makes using the technology actually worthwhile now.
