Passive solar design gives 1000 times more bang for the buck than any alt energy.
Wind power is only practical in a few places on earth.
Solar panels are a decent supplement but not when done as solar farms. Best for individual use and will be better when they start replacing roofing components and work best when considered as part of the original house and landscaping design. House facing south, trees planned properly. The right appliances need to be chosen and some things like elec dryers, elec heat, shop equip etc just use too much to be practical for solar.
We just got electric a month ago, after having lived off grid for 5 years.
