When the federal subsidies soon run out the wind industry can not survive. It is all about the subsidies which are about 70 times per megawatt generated the tax cuts given to oil and gas.
Link below shows a RV wind turbine that generates 400 watts in a 28 mph wind. This still won't run a coffee maker. It cost $1300. No way for an AC. A some point people have just got to face it, that this stuff isn't ready for prime time.
Realizing the state of alternatives doesn't make you anti alternatives, it just make you a realist. I plan on buying the first alternative on my block when they make sense, but now they don't.
