“Today, wind energy is economic at about 7 cents per kilowatt hour. (...) A few years ago, that cost was 15 to 20 cents. Compare the 7 cents for wind energy with the 12 cents per kilowatt hour required to build a gas-fired power plant, and you can see why there is a veritable land rush to harness wind energy. (...)”
Yes rigggght!!!!!!! same with nuclear too cheap to meter LOL
Compare the 7 cents for wind energy with the 12 cents per kilowatt hour required to build a gas-fired power plant, and you can see why there is a veritable land rush to harness wind energy. (...)
... and compare that to the 2 to 3 cents per kilowatt hour that you typically get from Nuclear and you'll wonder why we don't already have tons of cheap energy. As long as the government is going to get involved the cheapest and "best" solution won't be the one we end up with.
