The reason we aren't building more of them is that they aren't that cost effective. The left hates them for what they do to the birds. If they made money on their own without huge tax incentives then they would be all over the place where a constant wind is blowing. Cost wise they just aren't that attractive, so we build coal and NG burners instead.

The reason I'm giving you a hard time is that we are building 2500 mw worth of windfarms per year. Your initial statement was wrong. The only reason we are not building more is because all the windmill factories in the world can not build them fast enough which is why the price of them has jumped 50 percent in 24 months.
