<p>wind power is cool...because the wind mills look hella sick. lol
in addition, they've been able to develop quiet wind farms in the Netherlands (why is it that they always get the latest?)</p>
<p>Small country, lot of wind? </p>
<p>Neither wind or solar is very energy dense, so you end up having to have a lot of generators. Maybe they're good ways to power peripheral systems or as buffers, but large scale, clean reactors are really the only way for a country like the U.S. to get off petrochemicals for energy production for good. Nuclear plants cracking water for hydrogen. Sounds good to me.</p>
