I think we're destined to remain on different sides of the argument. I'm confident rooftop solar still wins; utilities aren't known for not raising rates, and the political winds shift. It might take longer, but rooftop solar keeps getting cheaper every year. SMUD provided power from natural gas [1] doesn't, regardless of how much local utility solar they build. They even call their natural gas a renewable resource!
