40. I truly want clean, renewable energy.

But I don't want to spend a ton of money on power generators that our electrical grid engineers think are a useless menace, and that people who live near desperately despise.

If they worked, it would be one thing. But they don't. Not a single, conventional power plant has ever been shut down as a result of a mass conversion to wind power. Wind generators simply do not reduce carbon emissions. They only enrich the likes of Vestas and T. Boone Pickens.
