Somehow I don't think forcing every grocery store, gas station, fire department, hospital, telephone company, and auto shop, to run on generators would be an improvement. Storage systems just aren't quite there yet to operate them 24/7 using just the sun. I wonder what those services would cost without the grid? You also have to wonder what the tax base would be if there were no grid. Who would visit, live, or open a business to pay taxes? What kind of subsidies could it pay for?
