Wind works where it works like some good-for-nothing-else land in Texas. The mix of wind and conventional has to be adjusted for all possible conditions which raises the price a bit. Other than those places, wind ranges from bad to ridiculous. Rhode Island has turbines here and there, some turn when there is no wind (hmmm) and others rarely turn. The ideas in Mass about off-shore wind are economic suicide but not surprising from the state that brought us the Big Dig and the MWRA. Around here we have similar off-shore wind stupidity in MD, not sure about Virginia.

Solar is also mostly a bad idea at the moment, but should improve over time with better technology.

Wind still produces zero in terms of energy! It costs millions to build one turbine in order that birds be killed needlessly. Here is a new term for this garbage can of an administration: Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Been hearing that for 30 years...........

Wind energy is a joke....and only viable because of "free" money from gobment.
