Most municipalities have an element of light industry. Why not combine wind farms and local light industry in one location? That’s what I call hitting two birds with one stone….

It's tricky because the case hasn't been made clear enough that we're headed towards climate-induced societal collapse in 30-50 years, we're in managed retreat and it's urgent. Also, micro-grids haven't been created to decarbonise and get municipalities off the national grid which would ensure more local participation and benefits to municipalities. Maybe it will take more local flooding, crop failure, climate related deaths and a more aware & agile younger generation. The sooner folk realise the State is the problem, not the solution, the sooner they may start looking for practical local solutions in earnest.
