THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

@nickofnz Makes me proud to live in an energy-positive state. And within walking distance of two major solar farms, with a third in the pipeline, and being somewhere flat, so that I can see a ridgeline about 40km away which, when the light is right, lets me see that, possibly 5km, if not more, of that ridge, is turbines. Or giants, if you happen to be Don Quixote.
