Allllll right! This one's going to be interesting. (1) Wind Power and (5) Offshore Wind Power. I'll try to differentiate them as much as I possibly can to make a good comparison between the two. Wind Power will refer to only wind turbines on land while Offshore refers to anything that is situated in water.
Wind Power
Green Pride (18/20)
Now, this is a little different than most of the other topics I've talked about so far because it's not something that individual consumers choose to buy or to take advantage of. Most Wind Power comes from the utility companies. So when I say that people are proud to have Wind Power, I mean that in that they're proud to have wind powering their city or country or space station (good luck with that). And for the most part, people are pretty proud to know that they have wind turbines near (but not too near) their homes.
Green Guilt (7/20)
I guess people are pretty responsible and know that their cities should be powered by alternative energy, but for the most part, they know that they can't see the difference between coal or natural gas powered electricity and Wind Power. So what does it matter to them where it comes from? And prices will probably rise with Wind Power so who wants that?

One vote for Wind Power!
Offshore Wind Power
Green Pride (17/20)
Nobody cares if you build wind turbines near landfills. People like that. People are pretty proud of Offshore Wind Power too, but it seems like there has been a lot more opposition to Offshore Wind Power because it tends to get in the way of beautiful beaches and scenic views. Oh, come on, people! The view isn't that bad!
Green Guilt (5/20)
This one is sort of a non-issue for a good portion of the world. A lot of people don't live near the water, so they know that they can't have Offshore Wind Power. And that means they don't have to be guilty about it! Hooray!

They're worth double now, so make sure you comment!
Time to tally the scores!
Wind Power: 27
Offshore Wind Power: 22
Well, there you have it! Wind Power comes out the winner!
I may be busy tomorrow so I might not get to post until Thursday. But when I do post, it will be (2) Solar Power vs. (3) Waste to Energy.
