If you did a little research, you would find out solar is not as efficient and reliable as wind power.
As I said, Scandinavian countries and England and Germany have a lot of windmills as they researched and picked the best solution

I've done plenty of research, and where I live we have more sunny days per year than windy, and solar is easier to install in currently underutilized spaces. Scandinavian countries also have easy access to ocean, and I'm in the middle of the Canadian Prairies. Not much ocean here. Turbines are also not a good idea in the migratory path of so many birds that go to and from the Arctic seasonally. So therefore solar is the nest solution for my location, which I researched years ago.

And the way to add more solar without clearing more land is to use land that currently isn't covered with solar, like parking lots and roofs.

Then why did you change the subject to Europe and Scandinavia? [/b]

The topic was also renewable energy, and like the man said, we can do both.
