European governments are even more prone to waste the scarce resources of their countries on politically correct "investments" that our government is.
The Danes, in particular, have taken it as a policy goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 20%, and wind power only because rational when evaluated by reference to such irrational constraints, as documented in
http://www.akf.dk/eng/wind.htm. That document reports (as of 1996):
"The production costs of the most efficient windmills on the present market (600 kW) are DKK 0.32 per kWh if they are located on average sites. This figure includes back-up costs of DKK 0.04 per kWh. Production costs of a conventional power plant are DKK 0.24-0.25 per kWh."
Thus the Danes rationalize stealing 30% higher energy costs from their citizens in service of the international environmentally-driven socialist Revolution. From my perspective, it stinks. These folks are the Pharisees of our day.
Sorry but your data is way outdated. No one is installing 600 kw turines anymore, well very nearly no one. Try and find something from 2002ish. Today the average turbine being installed is about 1.5 mw.
The government has tax policies on just about everything. The purposefully manipulate the free market every minute of the day to control it. Referring to the Pharisees is clever but not the least bit honest.
I don't believe in letting the almighty dollar make all of our nations decisions. I leave that to people that want to legalize and tax prostitution and let our steel industry go overseas if they can do it cheaper. I'm not willing to let the dollar decide our morality, or national defense strategies, or our energy policy. There are bigger factors to consider.
