I do appreciate this info. This is the kind of stuff I’m looking for. My hubbies being pretty insistent about this. But, tells me he wants me to do the research. So I’m doing :)
As far as wind goes, I was in Hawaii a couple of years ago and went to the south end of the big island. There is a huge wind farm there, and if any place could make a go of wind energy it would be Hawaii with its highest electricity price in the us and constant strong wind. Of the 75 or so wind turbines on the site, not a singly one was functioning. It wasn't economically feasible to keep them running even with the tax credits. So if you're looking into alternative energy to save money it's probably not going to work.
