Nope, they were put up to take advantage of the huge federal subsidies. Without these subsidies, the power generated is worth less than the cost of the capital to pay them off. Right now the cost to generate electricity from wind in a great location is about 3 times plus the cost to produce the same power via natural gas. Please post information about the ones you say are profitable without the subsidies. I'd love to see the information and you would love to show me to be wrong. I wish it was, I'd have one myself. I gave you a link to a personal windmill for home use. Their phone number is listed and they accept major credit cards. Why not buy one yourself? $1300 for 600 watts at 28 mph. Let us know how it works out please.
Thank You.
As I stated these were put in "prior" to any subsidies!
Article today on lower CO2 because of PHs going to NG. A good thing also!
