Solar vs. Wind Energy
I'm curious what the benefits (pros) and costs (cons) of each are.
Also wondering what the payback time is on an investment in solar vs. wind.
Solar
Con: I've heard some of the materials used in solar panels are procured through strip mining and are pretty caustic.
Con: Batteries needed to store energy at night or when it's cloudy.
Pro: Less intrusive than big wind turbines.
Wind
Con: Noise
Con: Bird Hazard
Pro: Generates day or night as long as the wind is blowing.
