Germany has all but given up on wind farming.

Tilting at windmills on a national level.

Wind farm construction grows across the U.S.

Does anyone have any real economic numbers on this stuff? From what I have read, this stuff is not economically viable without Federal subsidies, but I would like to know for certain one way or the other.

If anyone has any numbers regarding the cost of construction, cost of operation, and the output energy and what it is sold at, I would like to see if the numbers balance.

If they don't at least balance, the whole things is a boondoggle.

Berkshire’s CEO, Warren Buffett, explained why his companies are in the wind business. “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them,” he said. “They don’t make sense without the tax credit.”
