Outweigh how? Cost during production shouldn't be that much of an issue.Do turbines and solar plants produce pollution? Or do you mean during manufactor/building? And if you do, do they produce more than during the building of a coal/gas/whatever plant?

I would love them to be the solution I really wouldand wouldn't mind seeing them out my window all the time.
But there's just too many problems with them right now.
Sticking them out to sea is an improvement because at least you get a much better level of consistent wind to make them worth the negatives.

I quite like the look of turbines.I hear they're bastard noisey though.

that's what scares methe sound reports that the power firms are using are at least 10 years out of date, they are pushing through turbines based on audio data of designs a 10th of the modern sizes.
Plus the "acceptable" level of noise is the same as a town high street during rush hour. The thing is, even high streets don't have rush hour 24 hours a day, villages with no through traffic have it even less :(

PV is a messThe plants that build the PV cells have been dumping all the nasty
chemicals used in silicone doping in rivers in China. the PV cells have
finite lifespans of around 20 years; not long enough for them to make
enough energy to cover their production (or purchase!) costs.
Wind has problems, but isn't half so bad.
