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.
Ummmm, the topic is Nova Scotia.....lots of ocean there LOL

So do both. Not a problem.

And put the windmills out at sea. Lobsters will eat blenderized gulls.

Then why did you change the subject to Europe and Scandinavia? ;)

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

Never changed the topic to Europe and Scandinavia...used them as examples of where wind power was working very well. We could learn a lot from them.

Oh and, the topic was "Two leading environmental groups are giving a thumbs up to Nova Scotia’s ambitious plan to dramatically expand its fledgling offshore wind energy industry."

Sorry for your comprehension limitations. :)
