I believe wind is the energy source of the future.

Placing wind farms offshore and along side buildings in urban centers seems to be much more efficient than solar.





Imagine placing these along the MS river levee

They had massive wind turbines in Kauai before this, but it's an island in the middle of the Pacific. Migratory birds, some of which are endangered already, were getting killed left and right by the windmills, so they shut it down.

I won't go as far as to say wind, or solar, is the future, but integrating them as much as possible now can't hurt.

Those little wind trees along the sidewalk in the third picture would make absolute sense in a place like Chicago.

Every hotel in Las Vegas should have solar panels.

It doesn't have to be huge, overwhelming installations. They can be small things that take pressure off the grid and are aesthetically pleasing. Some of the sculptures used to capture wind energy are very nice looking.
