  4. WIND • PROS • Lessens dependence of fossil fuel use • Very cheap • Not effected by Power-outage • Can power individual homes and the masses • CONS • Large land areas are needed for mills • Damage from lightning • Birds flying into the turbine

  5. Solar PROS • No Pollution • Saves you Money • Tax Breaks • Nearly Maintenance Free • Energy Credits • No Noise CONS • Initially very pricey • Climate • Roof space/appeal • Don’t work at night, but can used stored energy from the day
