You begin by criticizing the May 2008 Department of Energy report, which concluded that wind energy could achieve a number of benefits by providing 20% of America’s electricity by the year 2030, as being too optimistic about wind energy’s future. First, I should point out that this report was written by the Bush Administration’s DOE, making it difficult to portray the report as pie-in-the-sky thinking.

Welcome to OTHERPOWER.COM
We are a group of alternative energy enthusiasts who want to spread the message that It's EASY to make your own power FROM SCRATCH. Otherpower.com's headquarters is located in a remote part of the Northern Colorado mountains, 12 miles past the nearest power pole or phone line. All of our houses and shops run on only solar, wind, water and generator power...not because we are trying to make some sort of political or environmental statement, but because these are the only options available. And we refuse to move to town. We could never have made it to our current level of electrification up here without the help of friends, neighbors--and folks we've never met, thanks to the internet.

I am an astronomer and wanted a place to practice my hobby far away from the sky-wrecking light pollution found near cities of any real size. I found a great piece of property . The problem is, it's so remote that there is no electric service available. That's not really a problem. No electricity equals no light pollution.
