And most tribal lands are concidered "sacred".

At least one wind project was dumped because of this already even though
the tribe stood to join in on the tax funded jackpot.

Why do people travel thousands of miles to get to the sun , when its
just three miles over us , above the clouds. What about rectangular
helium filled carpets where one would go upto in a hot air balloon.
Sit there in cubicles sunning onself.

1MW power from one roof , enough to supply maybe a thousand homes is
an amazing amount of solar power

excerpt

Reliance Industries (RIL) on Wednesday said it has commissioned the
country's first one-megawatt (MW) solar plant to power a stadium to
be used in the upcoming CommonWealth Games.
The company's solar energy initiative, RIL Solar Group has
"successfully implemented and commissioned 1-MW solar plant on the
roof of the Thyagaraj Stadium here," RIL said in a press statement.

To Ya All(Florida talk) Not very high engineering but my house is
100% green SevernTrent water shut my house water off 20 months ago. I
store water in 5 55 gal. plastic barrels in the sun Average temp 105F
good for showers. All my house pipes go through my attic,so gravity
gives me my showers. For flushing I have a gutter rain ballel. I
have electric but it is very expensive(Progress Energy over bills) I
have indoor hanging tomato plants now buding and need some friendly
bees Florida gets lots of rain and I know how to catch it(no
waste ) Hope to figure the best way to create direct current Wind
mill not to dependable.Solar on roof to expensive and hurricanes
destroy. I save a ton of money not havinh home insurance. They get big
rate increases thanks to Charlie Crist. They are all Mafia owned,so
pay out little on claims I Also cool my porch with the sun. Always
thinking how to make stuff work better for little money TreBert
PS Sun and gravity are very usefull . .

Because of the lack of oxygen and the winds that would carry your lifeless
body thousands of miles at three miles up.

And you would have to go about 10 miles up to get above all clouds.

You are still an idiot.

Why did no one think of this ?

Dig out six inches of soil and put in a flat six inch high
rectangular metal or concrete box an acre in size underneath. The sun
heats the soil which heats the box underneath it . Inlet valves let in
air and an outlet valve at the other end lets out air at high speed
driving a turbine. At night heat from below the box will move upwards
heating the air and driving the turbine at night.
Plants would grow in the soil above. In hot countries the soil
would be cooled a bit and in cold countries warmed from below so
extending the growing season.
Maintainence would be cheaper as there is no exposure to the
enviornment, and the land above is kept for farming.
