"Solyndra showed us how great and profitable solar power is. Wind has an ever bigger problem - the wind turbines are loud. Even Al Gore wouldn't want a house next to a wind farm.

They really are not practical long-term solutions. We are much better off with nuclear."

(12,287 posts)3. There are so many areas out west where nothing grows
and no one lives that has plenty of wind....Solyndra failed because they weren't competitive...meaning there are cheaper products available in that industry...that's growth, not failure...it's just that the growth is in China.
Besides I find Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh a relaxing sound.
