Posted By altnrg 11 months, 1 week ago in Science & TechnologyThe Southern California desert could produce a gusher of renewable energy. Strong sunlight bathes its open plains, and powerful winds stream through its mountain passes.

Probably not the solutions themselves. But the money to buy them and the will to build them may be another thing. Much of the stuff we've seen promoting renewable uses "cheap" or 'free".

One has to wonder whether there's some price at which the public may just say that they don't want it.
