Empire Wind Farm Goes Tips Up

As I've said many times, some green ideas make practical economic sense. I'd like to see a return to glass bottle deposits and recycling for some things. I'd like to see us do more with recycled paper and the domestic paper industry. I think solar in some places can make sense, such as West Texas or the Gulf Coast. Wind? Maybe, depending on cost. Hydroelectric, including tidal and slow-flow river turbines? Absolutely.
I think we need to take a very hard look at durability in everyday items such as cars, household appliances and housing. Overbuild for durability and make things easy to maintain and repair. We know how to build 30 year cars, 20 year refrigerators and 200 year houses. Let's build them and society becomes greener overnight.

@Jolly As usual, you make some good comments.
But, for public companies, they don't want to make things that last too long.
I think we were talking about a kitchen appliance/kitchen utensil maker that filed for bankrupt because their products lasted too long and therefore they basically ran out of people to sell to.
