If you believe wind turbines are happy magical devices that deliver free energy...

1. Energy optimization starts from:
-- decreasing consumption
-- changing consumption structure (not everything has to be electrical, especially cooking and heating)
increase of supply goes last.
2. Centralisation vs. resilience.
Vinay Gupta once mapped it neatly (SCIM aka Dartboard of Death):

*If* decarbonisation is the priority then I believe we should electrify as much as possible. Induction cooker is much more energy efficient than gas cooker, which is in turn more efficient than coal/wood cooker.
And the diagram is quite nice indeed.
That is why I wrote about "clash of priorities".
