RE: Solar energy is coming
In Russia solar panels are still a net loss. Not only there is low insolation, but snow... snow makes panels do nothing for a half of the year ((

is indeed very important. Wind energy could be a solution but you would need a community to fund it.
We bougth shares for our ons in a windmill park. They do get an interest of 4.4%
Russia is a big country, you cannot make general statement about its climate like that. For example, in my home region (Rostov region), solar PV cells would be a profitable investment (albeit with a long repayment period to reach ROI>1). But solar panels used for heating would be an even more profitable investment with a much shorter ROI period.
