Grid Problems Loom For Wind Power

It appears that our antiquated electric power infrastructure could be a problem in the distribution of electricity from proposed "wind farms." My question is, does this work better if the power is generated at the point of consumption, like having solar or wind generated power produced by the homeowner or business owner?" Of course there are capital costs for installation which would limit this capability at least initially, but maybe it is something that should be a goal.

One thing is certain, we needed to start something sensible yesterday.
