Sadly, I am sure you are correct. In this case, I plead guilty to taking a win wherever I can get it.

In my state -- NY -- the wind people are having a fair amount of success convincing municipalities to enter long term contracts to buy a certain percentage of their electric power from a wind farm in the western part of the state even though the cost per kilowatt hour is substantially higher than the cost for energy produced from hydronukecoal. Even the Republican whores have swallowed the green cool-aide and are now chanting the mantra that wind power is good for the environment. The good news is that several lawsuits have been commenced to set aside the contracts on the grounds that they violate the competitive bidding laws, which require competitive bidding on all nonemergency municipal contracts with a face value of something like $5000 or more.
