Conserve Energy Before Building Offshore Windmills?

"Jones Beach is a big tourist center. It's going to be horrible. Why, instead, isn't every government building using solar energy and every official driving a more fuel-efficient car?" - quote from Cathy McGrory Powell of Wantagh, NY, about the plan to build huge, electricity-generating windmills off the coast of Jones Beach, NY. Quote appears in the New York Times article, free registration required, found at http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/02/nyregion/02windmill.html?pagewanted=2
