so, are you moving to the UK soon to fill them in on their local wind consistency issues? No stations in the Orkney's in that report? Blasphemy. It depends on the problem you are trying to solve as to the application of the solution. For example, I probably wouldn't get a defense attorney for real estate law issues. I could, but it might be inefficient. Wind power provides a really good solution depending on the application. Just like solar chargers are great for LED lights, cell phones, etc. The wall warts you may use have inefficiencies in translating AC to DC, and you're constantly burning energy if you leave them plugged in. Or perhaps, the more appropriate answer to a conservative is your power bill is higher because you are leaving a bunch of stuff plugged in.
