Before they mandate something on a grand scale, why don't they build and evaluate a few of pilot installations to see if it's even possible to break even?
There are plenty of windmills in northern Texas. How are they working out, economically?
I know we built several wave power generators along the coast years ago. Are any of them still in operation?
Photovoltaic cells have been known for years. I've seen them on houses. Any owners out there who can tell us if they really saved money?
