It’s useful , but I don’t like wind strictly from an aesthetic point of view.

Wind is the least effective (and efficient) source of power there is. Solar is WONDERFUL in some areas (like mine). I agree that nuclear is the answer but too many Americans are afraid of that answer.
Electric companies where I live have figured out how to make solar not all that good of an investment unless you go completely off grid. I put more energy back ON the grid monthly than I pull FROM the grid. My electric bill still averages $300/month, and they pay me about $20/month for the energy I give them.
