Without subsidies and mandates, I doubt that this amount of wind power would be built.

Which would also explain why billionaire TBone Pickens is running ads on conservative talk radio warning against our dependence on oil and advocating wind and solar power.........

Yo, Tbone, how much you got invested in this crap and how much do you expect to profit from the govt. in subsidies if your commercials are successful?

The man didn't become a billionaire because of stupidity..........

Wow, his commercial just aired on FOX again as I am typing.......

Just a guess here, but I'd bet TBone's portfolio is heavy on wind generation investments, and very light on coal investments.

Myself, I'm about ready to start looking for a coal-burning stove for winter heat. Now that the environazis have made burning coal unfashionable in the electric utility industry (even though it still provides the majority of our nation's electricity), I want to burn my own. Just to tick them off.
