Alternative Energy Confusion

pcnetworx1 writes "New York State is starting to get crunched for electricity. While other states may just say 'pop a couple more coal/oil/natural gas/nuclear power plants down', NY has decided to take the green route. NY State wants to get more power by strategically placing windmill powerplants in upstate NY to help the grid. While getting a dedicated power plant placed on your property for FREE (and being paid $3,000 a year per tower) may sounds good to some Slashdotters, the citizens in upstate NY still need some education in the safety of alternative energy."

Well, you know, you know a lot more about this topic, and have a more developed opinon on it than I do. I probably can't win this argument, so, I'll let you have it.

No, certainly. I agree. I'm just concerned that I'll further promulgate flamewars, which I've spent the past day doing.

I really need to get back to my research.
