I don't need to get through winter, I just need to get from dusk to when the cheap energy is starts. Currently that's about 4kwh - or a small portion of my car battery before or recharges on the cheap rate.
battery and solar at the home level is what makes the most sense.
60% of the planet lives between the subtropics and tropics. There is way more than plenty of sunlight hitting our earth to support all of our energy demands, and any naysaying around battery technology is missing the forest for the trees.
