Depends on where you live. Hereabouts there are very few periods without either sun or wind.

Sure, but I'm not quite up to building a nuclear plant in my back yard. I could put PV panels on my roof, though. And if all else fails, there's a geothermal plant just up the road that puts out something over 100 MW.
