State policies and federal incentives increasingly encourage alternative energy development. For example, Gov. Gray Davis last year signed a bill requiring the state's utilities to provide 20 percent of their electricity from wind, solar and other renewable sources by 2017. The change is expected to double the amount of alternative energy used in California in the next 15 years.

OK I know we're suppose to always hate Kalifornia but I happen to like this one. Wind power will be the alternate energy of choice once people look at the costs involved. It won't be long and Wind will be pushing out gas, hydro and nukes. I think coal is the cheapest.

If that were true, it wouldn't require a Big Government mandate from the likes of Gray-out Davis and our Gov. Vil(e)sack.

Wind power has proven not to be cost effective. Besides, the wind mills kill birds. We can't have that now can we?
