Our $200 million nuke plant wound up costing $4 billion and was given away because it didn't work.

Windmills. Our co-op had several installed. No wind when needed was one problem. Too high winds was another. Storage of power was the biggest factor.

Our co-op has gone coal again and it doesn't pollute.
