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.

Well before 2008s stimulus there were hundreds and thousands of wind mills in the USA. Do you "really" think these were put up to lose money? There was one put up earlier by the big Mac bridge and 4 or 5 years later the first had made enough to buy a second one. In the thumb of Michigan there have been hundreds of mills there for years and guess what the farmers are dragging in big cash for leaseing the land. Time to rethink your statements.
