		<description><![CDATA[------- While somewhat good both wind and solar are far better on homes and buildings saving retail electric costs directly without having to pay all the parasites from investors to utilities to transmission line owners. 

---------They take up no new land and little losses as the power is used either at the site or within a block or 2 cutting the need for more local line improvements and save or make the owners money in their pocket instead of paying 2-3x&#039;s as much from the grid.

---------- If solar thermal CSP you get both heat and power plus cheap storage as heat giving power 24-7 of best, at peak where it&#039;s 2-5x&#039;s as valuable.

------------A better hybrid would be wind with solar CSP with it&#039;s heat storage with waste biomass/garbage as a back up giving on demand power especially at peak times when it&#039;s most valuable. But again this should be local and near the loads, not some distant place with the transmissiion line and losses cost.]]></description>
