It seems like solar would do pretty well in NM during winter.
There is a place in Albuquerque and another one in Lubbock that buy gridtie solar panels by the truck load.

The only road block to getting grid tie solar here is the municipality here is anti solar, they charge an additional 20 to $30 per month to install a net meter, that way they can pay you 2 cents per kilowatt hour for generating solar power all day when you're not home, then charge you 12 cents a kwh in the evening, after the sun goes down when you are home using power.

I have a bunch of cottonwood, while green it can't be split, it swallows splitting wedges. I just end up ripping them with my electric chainsaw.

The cheapest option to get a wood pellet grinder is about $1,100 to get one with out a motor. Since I have a motor or 2 that would work.
