No free lunch.. As I mentioned earlier, Hydro Electric plants might be
the greenest way to generate power if you have a good place to build
the plant without destroying too much land around it to build it.
There are a lot of places around here where they have huge banks of
solar panels out in fields with some sort of grain crop. An area like
that might have enough rain to keep them clean, but then we're back
to snow in winter this far north at least..
And, again, in most cases they wear out before they make enough
money to pay for themselves..
