Actually PJ..solar panels work really well wherever the sun shines a lot. Even here in Wyoming..especially here with more than 300 days of sun. Windmills may be ugly but they do work and work well where the wind does blow. Very efficient...but there is really no way to store the electricity ...and transmission of the generated electricity is a little different. It comes from places where the infrastructure is not in place. Electricity is generated at a rate that supposedly keeps up with demand...except where they have brownouts. Now the big question. If the gummit gets their hands in the pie..what's gonna happen. Will they allocate the electricity to areas where there are more (or more important) people?? Just like health care..the gummit WILL allocate if they be in charge ya know. BTW according to ne of the people I talked with..the average windmill genrates enough electricity for more than 40 houses.. at approx a million bucks a pop....so it will take about 30 yrs to pay for one..including maintenance......ah..yeah.. Well let's not get carried away here Obama. How ya gonna make this pay?? Oh..that's right..we'll pay more in electric bills and taxes and get less reliable service huh?? And y'all in the gummit will decide who gets what..No thanks!!
