Would that generate remotely enough power?
Comment on Need to get off the grid fast. Is a gas or diesel generator my best option?

Both will blow a lot of dirt and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. What about solar panels or a windmill?

Solar with enough panels and storage can do a great deal. For cooking consider an induction cook top as they're about double the efficiency of a traditional stove.
Batteries are kinda pricey though. I guess it depends on your budget. Perhaps a generator for standby or night time / overcast power.

That depends on how many sun hours or/and wind you’ve got at your place, how much panels you can install and of course how much light you’re using. I don’t have the knowledge to do the math on that.
Is there a free market to buy (sustainable) electricity from at your place? Or are you forced to buy from the local/regional provider?

Neither can be realistically installed in a couple of weeks. Depending on where you live, the waiting time for a battery is already 3-4 weeks.
