So, nukes it is, then...
Here in Illinois there are wind farms going up all over the place. There's a vocal opposition to them that whines about all manner of "issue," including how they look and what they might do to property values. Personally I think they're fascinating additions to the landscape, though I'd like them even better if they were fabricated in the US rather than Europe. (Americans can't design and build windmills?)
If we experienced more consistent sunlight in this part of the country, I'd not only welcome solar power plants, I'd expect them.
