———.So does the occasional windmill.———
I hiked into the far back country of Philmont Scout Ranch. They have wells at the back country camps and once had windmills. The windmills were replaced by battery electric pumps and an array of solar cells.
Well there you go...everything has its place. Whatever WORKS is good. :-)
Solar doesn’t work too well in New England, for example.
However, in Israel, everybody has a little solar array on top of their house to make their own hot water.
Unfortunately, the left HATES Israel, so their successes in “alternative energy” don’t count! LOL.
Which brings us to the crux of the matter.
Solar and wind are not scientific...they are POLITICAL.
JMO, of course.
