Just to start, I am fully in favor of both wind and solar power. However, it would be interesting to see some figures considering how much petroleum based, pollution-causing fuels are used to generate the clean electricity to run pollution-free electric vehicles.
And just looking at a bit more reality, in much of our country, the population density per acre is very small. Then look at just about any big city, that uses more electricity per square foot than acres of open land oes. How many square miles of open land for solar and wind power does it take to provide power for places like LA and southern Ca, or New York and the NE part of the country. A complete solar umbrella covering any of the big cities would not even start to provide the power used by that city. And out in the open Midwest, at lots of the west coast that are open and can be used are currently using that solar power to grow crops that will not grow in shade, and are much of our food needs. Would you be be willing to never have a salad again to be able to drive electric?? Ok untill you start getting hungry.
