Dear American, you have literally got The Best President so far by all means irrespective of whether you are a Republican or a Democrat

Only if every nation could have Donald Trump as it's President.

Windmills are the biggest pollution agents.

Actually, new windmill blades are made with resins that can be chemically decomposed for recycling, and even more sustainable blade materials are being developed. As for the old fiberglass blades, they can be re-used as power poles, bridges, etc.

and you want solar cells?

Not only do I want them, I put them on my roof three years ago. Original payoff time was ten years, but meanwhile electricity got more expensive so they're paying off much faster. I drive a plug-in hybrid car, and abour 3/4 of my miles are electric.

But why spread it all across USA

Because power transmission infrastructure is very expensive. There are vast benefits to generating close to the point of consumption.

Conventional sources of energy are available at cheap price right now.

You haven't been paying attention!!

Electric utilities are businesses with stockholders to answer to! And that's why, when planning new power plants, they look for the lower long-term cost sources! And that's why

@ElwoodBlues The cost table is considering that your solar and wind equipment will work 500 years later too with the same efficiency. This you forgot to mention.

@ElwoodBlues USA is not Africa and does not get Sun 12 hours a day at all places. Sun has to shine bright to convert solar energy to electrical energy.

@ElwoodBlues Right now, the model of USA is such that every company of the world is registering itself in USA to get heavy subsidies and after manufacturing those panels are shipped back to their original country. I hope you are not that naive to understand it.

@Horsefrost Right now, when i question your claims about cost estimates and subsides, you DELETE my questions. That's an interesting approach to debate, isn't it?

@ElwoodBlues Get that question here again.
