Solar power has a few glaring issues. There are high energy and carbon costs associated with solar panels, it’s intermittent, and it’s often installed in suboptimal locations (thanks to tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act). Combine all those and you have an energy source that’s just not very reliable. Sure, there are ways to improve upon some of these pieces, but wind energy is a much more reliable alternative.

Wind turbines can generate baseload power thanks to new tech giving access to more stable air currents. They also use more widely available materials and have a simpler production process, which contributes to cheaper energy generation. And these turbines are only put where the wind blows…I know, what a crazy concept.
