[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 963186, member: 2189"] No, T. Boone's idea will not benefit. Boone went to the Congress and various State govt's and the moment these institutions would not allow Boone to pick the taxpayer pocket to fund his efforts, it came to a grinding halt and a for sale sign went up on those wind generators. Wind in the right location can work great but to make power for the national grid requires a massive amount of power to be generated just to move the electricity across the grid. This excess power is just for transmission and is lost and never makes it to the final customer. This is the bigger problem of adapting solar and wind as a centralized grid solution but scaled at the local point of use, in the right locale, it's awesome and works great but it takes customers out of the monopoly energy bidness equation and thus the reason it's never advocated in public policy in it's best scenarios for success. This leaves the mindless who never look beyond the end of their noses to demonize the whole thing by playing the mynah birds to monopoly energy special interests talking points! [/QUOTE]
