"So, wind power is nearly $2/watt installed. (Not including maintenance.)"

Excellent point (along with your other observations).

Just follow the money, and the "green power" is a joke; simply costing taxpayers subsidy money to bring power to certain areas where the landscape becomes a propeller nightmare, and the cost to produce semi-reliable power is five or six times the cost of similar "old" technology like Nuclear power.

Between carbon trade/cap futures, alternative energy "solutions", etc., we are being duped into taxpayer oblivion....

And that Altamont pass photo is very disingenuous — modern wind farms look nothing like that monstrosity.
