[quote user="passengerfan"]The government seems to be placing to much hope in Wind and Solar energy to supply our power needs for the future. Here in California where pending lawsuits against the wind generators could shut them down for three months each year we are going to be in a bind for power if that happens.[/quote]   The lawsuits against wind generators and the government’s preference for wind power may seem to be at cross-purposes, but I think the conflict is an anomaly arising from the unforeseen contingency of bird kills.  Otherwise, the environmental and climate views of California perfectly match those of the current administration, congress, and the green movement.  Those views do not simply demand that energy production is clean or low emission.  They demand sustainability, and that requires energy to be from a renewable source such as wind and solar.   <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Nuclear is not renewable, so it does not support sustainability.  Beyond that, the waste handling is thought to be an unacceptable risk of toxic emission, and waste storage itself is not sustainable.  So, for as logical nuclear is as a substitute for coal, it is not acceptable to the green movement.   California is on the cutting edge of the sustainability movement, and that movement prefers wind-generated electricity.  However, what it prefers more than renewable energy is conservation.  Conservation is the centerpiece of sustainability.  The lawsuits against windmills are a clash between conservation and consumption.  Consumption demands windmills and conservation reduces the number of windmills and their related bird kills.  The only alternative resolution is making windmills bird-safe.
