3 given that wind turbines and solar power alone cannot power everyone's home how do you suggest we get our power
Disclaimer, when I looked at going solar a number of reps clearly told me this was not a option for my home as my only north facing roof was too small to make any panels viable and that I'd be better off on the grid, so yes, I'm a grid whore and will be for life

I live in Sydney.
The uptake of solar and batteries is booming now to record installation levels.
Yes it does not apply to every single house or situation.
Actually people with solar and batteries would benefit to stay connected to sell their excess power during peak demand time which is happening now.
When batteries come down in price you can install just the battery and charge during off peak prices to save on peak prices.
