Problem is you need to cover a fair percentage of accessible areas the US with solar cells to generate enough electricity. Plus solar cells don't work worth a darn on star or moonlight.
The bunny huggers don't want plants and animals to try living in the shade. Having some land not blocked from sun and rain to farm on is a good idea too.
As for wind, the environmentalists are complaining they look ugly, are noisy, birds run into them. And most of all they devalue their cottage or horse farm property values.
Windmills don't work very well on calm, light breeze or heavy wind days either.
The 1.6 Mega Watt Vesta units around here produce only 24% capacity in a year. And that's in the windiest part of the Province.
Lets see, to replace the thermal and nuclear units here with wind at 24% capacity. We would only need 47,000 windmills. You will also be spending some time shivering in the dark.
Don�t suggest storage in batteries..
