But they have drawbacks too. The promises by the "green" folk are not promises, only dreams. Let's use solar panels in the desert. Lots of open area. No one really cares about the land use. Lots of sunlight. Sounds good. But you have dust and sand. Dust that reduces the effectiveness of the panels unless regularily cleaned. Sand to abrade them and wear them quicker than intended. One of the problems with the Greenies is that they can never see the full picture. They only want to focus on their little part that they want. ....
