Jed, I read the document you linked to previously, I think it could be useful for original poster and her research. I disagree that turbine generators will eventually be available for $10/kW, even at manufacturing level, and especially not when baked into a system with all the required ancillaries. However, I don't think that nullifies your overall argument.
I assume your calculations regarding the average Midwest solar installation and typical Midwest household energy use (911kWh/month), include a big air-conditioning unit somewhere. The figure sound about right, but not everywhere needs aircon units, they are very rare in UK homes, for instance.
