Seems like these would be more reliable energy sources. Also, good luck trying to sell the panels when they will just be covered in snow 40% of the year. Oh and you will have to fight the Big Coal and Nuclear in that state also. GO STEELERS! Why not take more advantage of the moving water in the THREE RIVERS and the WIND over the hills. Seems like these would be more reliable energy sources.

If Germany can beat us as a whole nation in solar power installed, with the same grimy atmosphere as those Northeastern rustbelt cities, why don't we try it there too. We'll always have the sunbelt states to fall back on. The picture is perfect.
