It will never be a sensible way to generate power unless there is some
storage available, the tidly bit that is in the grid is several orders
of magnitude too small.

Storage as meant in this application is where the other generators
attached to the grid work a bit less hard when yours is working, and
harder when it isn't. You can't easily store AC, even in tiny amounts.
Flywheel and an alternator, maybe?

It may well be a sensible investment for some, just don't try and kid
yourself or anyone else its a green project.

Yup.
