1. Any alternative to fossil fuels is a good idea. That stuff about ruining farmers crops is propaganda from the fuel interests
2. Adding more alternative power sources, such as wind turbines today and other sources soon, is not a question. We have to do it. The challenge in fulling utilizing wind power, is moving the electricity from where it is generated (the boonies) to where it is needed (the cities) over our aging and inadequate electricity grid. In addition, wind and solar are free power once the initial investment is made, but are not always available when needed. So another major challenge is how to store this green power or how to use it to complement power from traditional sources, such as fossil fuels.
