Solar, although getting better, is still less efficient than wind.

Solar is oversold. 2 huge problems. Does not work well if you have a
cloudy week and at nights. Then you have to store the power to use it.

And that is before one gets to needing many acres of land to get a
meaningful quality. And by the way, using lots of plastics made from oil to
make the cells...funny.

Works good on poles and signs though. Just isn't going to scale up or power
a whole city.
