That doesn't counter my other point about refrigeration and heat as a bonus from your local generation if you can make enough.

You guys should think about solar more - where you have mostly sunny days you wouldn't waste electricity for heating, and where you would need more heating the sun isn't around that much (or that high in the sky). With scarce sun you will not be wasting electricity on heating, you got wood for that.
The bonus should be for charging your golf-cart, not for keeping your food from rotting.
Diesel, propane, and many wood heat sources require electric.
The point is that the electric is more flexible than a room full of oil barrels for your truck. I can decide how I use it day by day as I go. Might be food storage one day and a welder the next.
That's what generators are for 😉
