If somebody, be it an individual homeowner to a large business building produces excess power, it gets routed to where they're producing less, and therefore maintaining stable and consistant energy. With enough people/businesses producing energy, the need for a power plant is reduced/eliminated. And, with less focus on a small number of sources for everybody's power, it's more resilient system, since a problem on one part of the grid won't have as large an impact as before. Two great articles I read on this recently are http://www.odemagazine.com/doc/56/talkin-bout-my-generation/ and http://www.celsias.com/article/will-africa-be-hub-green-global-super-energy-grid/ I am so excited about this possibility, and would love to be personally involved in it happening. Anybody out there reading this that is, go visit my site and get in touch please.

Coal and oil will deplete one day and eventually the reliant will push the dependence on alternative energy even higher. So, there is never a better time to start but now.
