Green Energy

In the last few years, one of these has gone up adjacent to a new solar installation somewhat close to my area. I wish I heard more about them (especially this one I have seen) but I mostly hear about hydropower since that is the primary source we have. I live really far away from any power source and our local power coop has discussed possibly putting one closer to town but nothing has come of it. I think it could be great but am not sure how these things work in a supplementary capacity. Last year our grocer lost many products due to a fire two hours away causing a lengthy power interruption. I think these things could be great for local power but my view is from a rural western US standpoint and probably won't apply to many places.
