"Some" and "May"; these are the key words. So my question is, how much money are you willing to throw at the "some" and "may" problem? That will determine the answer to your question. If the key words were "all" and "will" you could very well come up with a very different answer.

I just don't see solar or a generator in my foreseeable future. The "some" and "may" just don't add up for me.
