Reply #17: It is cost effective in many areas [View All]

[Quixote1818]

I know wind power pays for its self in about five years then it pure profit. Of course it depends on how windy the area is. If it's not windy then it probably is not cost effective. I imagine solar power pays for its self in about the same amount of time in sunny areas. If its an area with little wind or sun then it's probably not a good idea and not cost effective. I am talking about areas where it is.

If people knew they were going to save money in the long run, most everyone would be for it. In my opinion it's a no brainier. The only problem I see is making the technology look more attractive. I can see how someone would not want wind or solar if they didn't like how it looked, or if it broke zoning laws.
