[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3268266, member: 7900"] According to this site, [URL='https://www.c2es.org/content/renewable-energy/']www.c2es.org[/URL], all the renewable energy sources add up to around 24% of the energy generated globally. Of that number, about 17% is from hydroelectric generation. That doesn't leave much for solar and wind with regards to generation capacity. I've always said that if something isn't a good enough investment for people to put their own money into, then it probably won't be a good investment at all. I remember some years back, we were at the state fair and OG&E (I think) was offering to allow people to sign up for fully wind power electricity. Sadly, some folks were signing up for it, even though it would cost them more than just regular old generated power. Also, I was told that there was no way that the customers could be assured that their power was all wind generated since there were no special power lines supplied to their homes. [/QUOTE]
