And even the wind power is not really green. It takes HUGE amounts of concrete for the foundation, and high tech materials to manufacture the windmill. Transport the components to the site, and the upkeep and maintenance of the windmill his high. They are worn out and need to be replaced before they ever go positive in energy production over the energy needed to put one up.

And we get a landscape covered in ugly windmills. And at night when the winds let up, they are just large aviation hazards. During the day the do a great job of killing lots of birds.
