"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.

You asked for proof for the price of wind power as if I lied about it. I gave you the very first source with the price and it turned out that it meant nothing to you. Why do you think I would continue in what is turning into nothing but a pissing match. Good day.

Here's another one who thinks windpower means those antiquated toy turbines in California.

He might as well be looking at a Model 'T' while telling us cross-country travel by automobile is impractical.
