The great thing about local power generation is that it decreases the amount of electricity wasted in power transmission. You can't get much more local than a wind turbine on every home
It would be great if this scaled to the point that less coal power plants would be needed. Coal is the dirtiest source of energy in the world (yes, even with the so called "clean" coal technologies which aren't clean at all).
This doesn't do much to curb oil dependence though (most developed countries use little oil for electricity generation).
