I wonder how well that would really work, or do you mean I should have
my own generator for the winter months when solar is unlikely to provide
the power I need. I think electric plants are far more efficient than a
generator could be (and of course hydro plants are relatively low impact
[not zero since they do take energy out of the water and do disrupt fish
migrations, and require flooding areas for resevoirs]).
