   No free lunch.. As I mentioned earlier, Hydro Electric plants might be   
   the greenest way to generate power if you have a good place to build   
   the plant without destroying too much land around it to build it.   
      
   There are a lot of places around here where they have huge banks of   
   solar panels out in fields with some sort of grain crop. An area like   
   that might have enough rain to keep them clean, but then we're back   
   to snow in winter this far north at least..   
      
   And, again, in most cases they wear out before they make enough   
   money to pay for themselves..
