Solar is impractical. There is not enough light during the winter months 
plus the snow/freezing rain needs to be cleared.

They did a pilot project for wind farms. There were issues with the 
effects of noise pollution on people and wildlife that live near the 
turbines plus they only work when it's windy. It's not super windy here.

Phil and I had a fight in 2015(?).
I think he would be conflicted over wanting to tell you that you are 
wrong as usual vs. not wanting to back me up on this.
