Tidal electricity generation could be a local answer too. Puget sound is one area where that could work.

I've got 3 acres zoned agricultural. I'd love to put a wind turbine on my property, as long as it was hooked up directly to my house
I think that tidal electricity is awesome - what an easy, continuous source of energy! There's one off of the coast of Newport, Oregon. They're saying that "hydrokinetics" could power 10% of the nation. It's available 80-90% of the time, where wind generation is half-that.
If that will keep the farmers from selling their corn to make ethanol and instead, go back to feeding people and animals with it, maybe milk won't be $6/gal anymore...
