The fragility of the electric grid was highlighted. Solar, by providing energy generation at many places around the state (e.g. right on the roof top of your house or business) means you are not at the whim of the grid.
The cost of climate change, is being felt now, not in the future. Large storms like SuperStorm Sandy drive home the point that we cannot sit back and let the future happen to us: we must plan now for our future, and in terms of electricity generation this means a renewable energy transition now.
There are many advantages of distributed generation. Distributed generation strengthens our electric system and provides greater reliability, especially during natural disasters.
