Agreed. Solar takes up too much land, is more fickle than wind, and the economies of scale seem to be tapering off. Wind is at the _beginning_ of the cost curve

Agreed. Solar takes up too much land, is more fickle than wind, and the economies of scale seem to be tapering off. Wind is at the _beginning_ of the cost curve, requires much less land/kw, and can be installed offshore. It's also less susceptible to damage categories like hail, and can be installed close to large consumers like NYC or SF in a way that solar cannot. Massive overprovisioning of wind + grid scale storage + hydro will get us to 100% renewable. Solar will likely remain the domain of off grid houses, campers, etc. Maybe it will be a bigger deal in MENA than the USA. People should go to Coastal New England and Kansas if they want to see extremely strong, consistent wind.
