[QUOTE="seeking Christ, post: 62180522"] Wind power is more effective than you apparently realize. The numbers I've looked at indicate that one turbine powers over 800 homes. There are objections to these dotting scenic ridgelines, but here in the upper midwest there are LOTS of high-wind areas that no one really minds being populated by windmills. The biggest issue is if they are based in areas of mown grass, that defeats the whole purpose. If it's anchored in farm land that's still used, the yield that's lost is very small; win-win I don't think either wind or solar will ever be a large source, but both can contribute significantly. (Even 20% is a HUGE #, looking at our National consumption) [/QUOTE]
