Off the grid and turbines

Okay, I need to ask this before I just shoot my game. Can you not live off the grid and use turbines to power items? Or do they just supplement your power and cut down on bills?

Never mind, figured it out. They don't exactly go out of their way to explain how the new power and water items work; had a turbine and it couldn't even power a boombox.

Bear in mind that the ground ones generate more power than the roof type. It also helps to upgrade your electrical items as you add them, so they use less power. Or add the fuel cell upgrade which makes them take biofuel instead. Even doing this though it does seem like the amount of power generating equipment needed for an average house is a bit over the top. I think a tweak to make them generate a little more would be desirable.

The reminder every time you enter an off the grid lot, that it is off the grid, can go too. Enough spam!

There are two things that make wind turbines generate more power over time.
1. Green eco footprint.
2. Windy weather.

Thanks for the ideas, guys! And if all else fails, mod it!
