Wind and Solar energy, in a perfect world, would be great. Unfortunately, they are also very unpredictable, not to mention, way too low-yield, and to base our major power supply on them is foolish.
Wind and Solar are not the only ones ,The Hoover dam proves it.
If you think it hurts property value, Look at the Swedes , Almost every new home is being equiped with new modern solar panels.Having a solar panel is a fasion statement since it says you live in a modern high tech state of the art house .
Ive even heard of Tv's,Radio's powered by patatoes'.:)
