That's already here. You can put in a grid-tied wind/solar/whatever power source at your house. You deliver electricity back to the grid when you're not using it, and they pay you.
It's just that right now, IIRC, your break-even is something like 10-15 years out, so mostly only people driven by "survivalist" thinking are into it. I have to figure this article is indicating that it will become more cost effective.
Well, it wouldn't "send all of them to jail!" It would make them have to quit one of their favorite hobbies, if the bill passes. That's not nearly as critical.
