The point is that you could be charging your Volt on wind power. Not non-renewable energy sources, regardless of the state of the grid. It's an environmentalist's dream.
Imagine a small town in Texas near one of these wind farms where people can have their big screen TVs, cars, heat and air conditioning all coming from wind...
You can have the "American Dream" while using very little oil, coal or nuclear power. I'd say that's worth celebrating, even if there are downsides and flaws to it.
