Electricity from wind and solar energy is not remotely free. It clearly costs more than HELCO,s power. If not, everyone would have it already. There are good reasons to jump through the hoops to have your own supply but cheapness isn't actually one of them, unless you are making do with a very small amount of power compared to someone in town. By the time you make the lifestyle changes necessary to live off of solar or wind you won't be thinking so much about the money.
Not saying I couldn't use solar panels in Eden Roc, but I would have to install twice as many since it is so cloudy and rainy.
Solar would be the most widely available resource. Good wind is much rarer. A good wind resource is indeed rare so you shouldn't lead people on thinking they can depend on wind.
