In reply to the discussion: Wind turbines are such a blight on the landscape [View all]Bohunk68
(1,454 posts)28. You are right about one thing.
It would be a huge boost to the economy because of the expense of PV plus wind. Before I retired, I used to design systems and those systems were only affordable because of the rebates from agencies such as NYSERDA ( New York State Energy Research and Development Agency). Without those almost 50% rebates such systems are out of reach for the overwhelming majority of people. What about the poor? What about renters? And, how about those municipal systems which are not forced by law to purchase your excess power? Because that last statement is how you get the rebates.
