But if you want to understand what's really going on, that is where your focus needs to be.

"Behind the meter is almost totally incapable of fulfilling clean energy needs on a large scale."

That is absolutely, completely false. Distributed generation is fundamentally focused on an approach geared to end users being in charge of their energy supply. Think about this - what strategy should be followed to bring energy security to undeveloped areas of the world. Large scale generation and transmission? Or might it not be better to work at the individual/community level, maximizing local production and storage opportunities?
