Check out the above link on wind.

Be my guest if you want to pay more. Part of the article tells you how to sign for for "green" energy, of course there is an additional cost, but what the heck, the Sierra Club love you will receive is worth it.

"There isn't a major institutional investor who wasn't burned by U.S. Windpower," said Jan Paulin, chief executive of Sea West, a private wind developer based in San Diego. Because wind development's cost reflects the time and money needed for making better equipment, scouting the windiest sties, and getting permits to build wind farms, the economics of the wind turbine business are highly sensitive to the interest rate banks charge developers, experts say.

From you own website. How can this be if it sells so cheaply? Ever driven from Palm Springs to San Diego? I've driven that route at least ten times and only twice were all those hideous windmills turning.

The bottom part of your website brags about Denmark producing 10% of its elec from wind. They will never get past that, because the grid can't stand the failure when the wind refuses to blow. I'll try and find the back-up for you on that. In the meantime, read both websites and see how they mention Europe as a leader in this. Then wait for my next post that gives average elec bills in London, Paris, Tokyo, etc., and be ready to explain the difference.
