Face it windmills just aren't cost efficient as a means of generating electric power.

Your conclusion doesn't follow from your argument. Cost effective is a measure of the price of the windmill and supporting equipment vs the value of the electricity. Using that measure and allowing the 1.8 penny ptc, they are quite cost effective.

Bring BBQ, Beer and some clay (to wrap the birds in) so when baked, removing the baked clay removes the feathers, remove innards, salt and spice to taste.

Just set up the BBQ under the biggest baddest windmill and wait for a suculent tenerised pre killed dinner to drop out of the sky.

If you are lucky will get a spotted owl.

Enjoy

An argument absent any facts.
