21. Wrong, what I am advocating is understanding that all

These green technologies have a clear dark side, yes even photovoltaic.

But tell me, speaking from San Diego and jobs...in your mix, do you want wind projects in areas that at best are class 2, minimum to authorize is class 3, that are on sacred Indian lands? And one of them will produce, per their admission, one permament job? Or a mixture where yes, your city government could mostly be off the grid during the day? Most city offices work 9-5, in admin buildings. They will have solar even in Winter.

Most people have been told all the marvels of wind. Sorry for bringing some of the downsides.

Should it be part f the mix? Yes, but projects are being rushed that will fail to deliver, and a few are owned by oil companies...locally one is owned by the Carlyle group.
