Right. Like damn, get real. We gonna have 50-story towers decorating the landscape for every 73 homes?? It doesn't even make sense for extremely remote and impoverished locations due to the amount of materials it needs (cost).
Exactly. If you're going to build an incredibly tall structure to generate power in the desert, wind makes much more sense.
Or a mirror based solar power tower.
