Exactly, that is the problem. The energy can be produced (probably) 
where it is being consumed but people in the cities, burbs or along the 
coast do not want to see the turbines. There is also a huge loss of 
power as it is being transmitted, the closer to the consumer the more 
efficient the power system.
The only people that will defend the wilderness are the ones that 
appreciate it.
