Yeah. If that keeps money in small towns and going into small businesses vs. big-box chain stores, it's well-spent. Especially if it means your transport fuel dollar isn't funding fossil energy(?)

At the moment, Michigan sources about 2/3rds of its electrical power from coal or natural gas but wind and nuclear are a growing piece of that. Where I live, in WA, most of our electricity is Hydro (and it's cheap, at ~10¢/kWh). Also, fueling up on electricity (even in MI, where electricity is ~19 ¢/kWh) was pretty cheap compared to gasoline.

I think if we don't put those in local, small-town small-business lots everywhere it'll be bad for small businesses, small towns, and in marginal ways, for the environment.
