[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1567565, member: 32659"] Solar and wind power are a waste. They both take up huge amounts of land and produce very little power that without Government tax credits is unprofitable. A 6,000 acre solar site will produce 300-500 MW if the sunshines while a 70-100 acre Natural Gas site will produce 1,000 -1,500 MW or more and doesn’t require tax payer money to get by. I haven’t looked in awhile but wind turbines were producing 1-2 MW each when the wind wasn’t too fast or too slow. They are both good for land owners but if the tax credits ever run out they’ll both be sitting producing nothing. I wish all the “Go Green” city dwellers had to live around these things. Go to any big city and try to bull doze 6,000 acres in the middle of it to give them 400 MW of solar power and see how they like the heat wave it makes. Not to mention all the people it displaces.
