 Ray - I am in general agreement with you. But here in Germany, we have areas which have so little wind, that those turbines are utilized less than 10 % of their capacity. It is purely a political issue, with a lot of detrimental effects to bird life ( and underwater life, if we look at those off-shore wind parks).  Wind power is abused as an instrument to raise the prices for energy. And, as long as we cannot store the energy properly, they work only in conjunction with fossil fuel or nuclear power plants. As the old time sailors knew "whenever you need a wind, there is none"!<img src="http://www.peakofoil.de/windenergie2.jpg" mce_src="http://www.peakofoil.de/windenergie2.jpg" width="640" height="480">
