Halo: Reach’s opening level renders several small wind-energy harvesters across the landscape of what appears to be a dedicated farming planet (named Reach).  This is familiar territory, as It is through this representation of a future setting that persuasion and direct engagement challenges are bypassed (Abraham 2018).  Abraham’s work is based on the game ARMA 3, as an island setting which represented a number of large, centralized renewable energy facilities and systems (solar arrays, wind farms, etc.).  One can argue that in reality, from a functional standpoint: rural communities, and – more specifically – household units are the setting for the most effective ''present'' implementations of renewable energy generation.  Certainly, such units have been a major factor in the genesis, and growth in popularity of such technologies for pragmatic factors such as distance/inefficiency in traditional access of centralized systems, spatial seclusion, etc.  Distributed, smaller-scale implementation such as on Reach is just as likely (if not more so) a scenario for near-future energy generation capacities, relative to large-scale facilities.
