What the future holds for America with utilities going reusable or green. for instance and most pressing for me is wind and solar. Example one G.E>windmill accommodates supply for 147 homes on average and needs about 3/4 acre to operate. my only data on current utility grade solar panels is 4 square miles thousands of acres supply about 30 thousand people, which takes the place of a natural gas burning plant that uses about 4 acres of land. From what I understand our current grid system does not match well with those two types of supply or those two types don't match with current grid system either way sound like some more land will have to be grabbed up for this purpose so between blanketing our other resource land with solar panels and wind mills with very little or no other usable purpose for the land there after, I thought may be possible to farm the land were the wind mills graze, but the dust probably wouldn't be good for the inner workings of the wind mill definitely needs ventilation for temperature purposes. To sum up 300million people about 200 million units to service the future of our open spaces looks bleak. what say you?
