Actually there are some pretty good incentives for businesses to invest in solar PV in Ohio. Wish we had half as many in the private sector here.
There's a 240 foot turbine going up 1,5000 feet from my house. 600 KW. There's been a 270 kilowatt solar PV system there and it's so unobtrusive no one would know it - the turbine on the other hand ....

Come on people. Look what is going on in Portugal, England, Denmark and Spain today.
Read this from Bill Clinton.

billb- Solar energy is pretty low density in most of Ohio. Wind is up there on the lake erie shores. DOE has some good energy density maps on their site.
Of course here in Cleveland, we're lucky if we get 100 full sun days a year. Dismal cloudy damn town.

I'm not sure what oil has to do with electrcity generation in the United States.
Less than 1% (o.9%) of the fuel used to produce electricity in the United States comes from oil. That data is from the Department of energy.

If there was no oil, cars and busses would run on natural gas and utilities would have to pay a lot more for it.

Small-scale wind works very few places in the U.S.
Stick with PV for residential use.

William and Kate's getaway car runs on biofuel made from surplus wine. Anything's possible...

With all the incentives- that's changing.
