Wind power is great, as long as it isn't in sight of Kennedy's vacation home...then it is outlawed. Wind power is great as long as there isn't a chance of the Wild Three Spotted Hootenanny running into a turbine, then the environmentalists protest.

Personally I think all forms of alternative energy should be put front and center. Start expanding our nuclear capacity, fund research into incorporating solar technology into shingles for roofs (it's already there), fund wind farms, fund tidal power, etc.

I guarantee you the enviro-wackos will throw a fit on every measure for one reason or another. Seems to me they would welcome it as an alternative to oil with it's pollution both on burning and transport (Exxon Valdez).
