Wind is actually a good source, if there is a consistent breeze blowing
enough to keep the blades of the windmill moving, and would seem to be
fairly inexpensive to construct as well.
As far as solar, the cost of setting up systems are extremely expensive
still as the manufacturers of such materials are willing to lower their
prices any.......
I've lived in Seattle. Too little sun and almost no wind. According to a
book I was reading when I wanted to build a greenhouse, windloading is not a
consideration there as it has the lowest winds in the country.
As far as prices, there's not enough demand to allow efficient manufacturing
methods. Selling at a loss is too risky for a business unless they have a
very strong reason to believe the demand will pick up.
