Solar and wind are great but they are not cost effective. We all want energy but we all want cheap energy. Solar for a home is totally insane as to how small a payback you get. Then do it in huge arrays in the desert and line loss is such a factor that it wipes out the efficiency of size. Same with wind. The key is changing it to DC and sending it down the line and converting it back. But again this is expensive.

Does anyone really think we have a great cheap way to make energy and no one wants to make that cash so we are ignoring it?
