I'm wondering if the oil supply glut and falling energy prices are dampening alternate energy construction projects. Even with government subsidies, the economic benefits of alternate energy generation may too little to continue construction of turbines and solar fields (at least, at this time).

If Lockeed Martin's fusion project is for real, alternate energy construction may simply disappear completely.

The ridges would be wind turbine free forever.
