You guys are not in the right location for solar.. As for wind, I'm personally not convinced on it. They are building wind farms in the US like it's going out of style, but every time I drive by these wind towers it seems like more than half of them are just sitting still..

The problem IMO, is power companies want to build "grid tied" shit so they can sell the power where ever.. Solar as an example is power system that should be more focused on local usage with battery storage banks. That is where solar shines so to speak. I'm not really a fan of grid tied wind farms or grid tied solar as there is no way to store that power meaning it can never be consistent on it's own with out storage capacity.
