This right here. Solar, wind, nuclear, whatever else we come up with, etc are all pieces of a larger puzzle. Solar in particular works extremely well both on the small scale on homes and businesses as well as larger installations where crops can be grown under them basically doubling the use of the land.
As solar panels keep coming down in price, the more people who can put up even a small installation at home, the more stress we relieve from the larger grid. We are planning on putting up as many as we can afford because we have the space to do so, my grand idea is to have enough generation during the day that the neighbors on either side of me can have as much juice as they can use, they just have to cover getting the power lines connecting the panels to their house.

Nothing really interesting in this article. The cons of solar also apply to all power generation if you think of sunlight as fuel.
Ultimately solar is one piece of the move away from fossil fuels.
