Solar is something that needs to be looked at but solar on this scale is not great. For one rather amount of usable land this will take is massive and I didn't see any mention of storage in there? While wind power is not pleasing to the eye at least the land below can still be used for farming or industrial. The noise is an issue though not greatly so. I sat having my lunch one day directly under a wind turbine opposite the famous sculpure "Donde se cruza el camino del viento con el de las estrellas"- while there was some noise it wasn't terrible.
We just looked at solar for our house - $20k outlay for a$10k savings over 20 years. Just wasn't worth it.
Wind we have plenty of. We need to build more dams(we wont), more geothermal, ,look at tidal power. Solar in N Z isn't good enough. Too much of the year we have reduced capacity.
