    Additionally, there are growing concerns about water shortages throughout the southeast. Many electric generation sites in this part of the United States rely on water for cooling. Many of these plants were designed and built with certain water availability assumptions that are now very much in question. With growing electricity demand only solar and wind can offer a realistic two year delivery and in areas of the country where water is becoming a concern. The sun still shines and the wind still blows...

    There is also the dimension of job growth in parts of the country developing alternative energy technologies. With the dollar falling realtive to a basket of currencies the ability to manufacture value-added products (such as a wind turbine) use them domestically and sell them overseas is starting to take hold. As the automobile industry in the US faulters metal prices should modulate a bit adding to the ability for the alternative energy companies to deliver a competetive solution to coal or natural gas.

    The whole story is compelling. I am looking into solar panels on top of my home and I live in the upper midwest.
