Reminds me of Mother Earth News only no newsprint. The laws of Physics will not change just because we want to feel good about ourselves. The sun will not shine on your house 24/7. The wind will not blow at a steady pace. Conservation and efficient products will do more than the solar and bio alternatives. Ethanol has already been shown to be boon-doggle. I'll give wind a 50/50 chance.

it's just water vapor from the cooling towers. some coal-fired and nuclear powerplants have them.
