Garbage is the source.

Sounds like garbage would be a much better energy source than wind!

Australia has ENORMOUS deposits of coal in NSW. The coal terminal in Newcastle has to be seen ... They should be burning it domestically. Heck, WE should be burning OURS domestically.

according to my HP-50g, the consumer price is
$14000 per MW——MW is a million watts (10^6)

..14000$/1x10^6= 0.014$ or 14 cents

Actually your HP got it wrong, it's 1.4 cents per watthour.

Or as my wetware did it: 1Mwhour is 1000 KwHours, so $14,000/MwHour is $14/KwHour
