In 2006, there were only two blade production facilities in the US, by
the end of 2008 there were eight. By 2011 the US is expected to exceed
Germany in installed wind energy conversion plant. These things are not
cheap, about a dollar a watt installed cost, and we are talking about
thousands of megawatts, somebody is making money. That they are
coincidently doing something positive for the environment is nice, but
is certainly not the motive driving these installations.

A typical wind farm will run from $500 million to $2 billion, you think
tree huggers are providing the capital for these?

So I take it you believe there is no need for the guvmint to spend taxpayer
money subsidizing these installations?

So I take it you believe there is no need for the guvmint to use
taxpayer money to prevent Union Carbide from dumping as much toxic waste
in the environment as they feel like.
