I just read that natural gas prices are costing 5 cents per kwhr. That's just the cost of the fuel and it is the least stable of fuel prices. Wind power is being wholesaled at 5 cents per kwhr today and the price declines every month.

It is an error to think that 4000 acres are used up when windmills are placed on them. The land, usually farm land or plains, is still 90 percent as productive as before. For the farmer he is still growing corn and earning an extra 3-6000 dollars per year per turbine. Everyone wins.

Got a source for that bullhillary on wind prices. You're almost right on nat gas, those prices are between 3-5 cents per kwhr.
