Mari, you need like three or four dogs. You're afraid of shadows cast by objects that don't exist, created by light sources that are truly dim bulbs. They move and you move with them so you can make sure you can still see the shadows, so you can still be afraid of them. You live on the adrenaline created by your fear. If somebody says boo you'll jump out of your shoes. Cowgirls are supposed to be brave?
Alternative energy: remember, this question has been considered by the best and the brightest for about 50 years. Every single physics and engineering student has spent a good deal of time thinking about it. After the Carter presidency the government put a ton of money into that particular rathole. If this one were easy, it would be solved by now. But actually there is a very proven alternative energy source and the Europeans you like so well use it a lot. It's called nuclear fission. It's extremely clean, unless you happen to screw up and make an entire area of the planet uninhabitable.
But before you advocate for it you should spend some time living next to one of these plants. The towers cast a long shadow, and you may be frightened of it.
