But wind energy is certainly not cheap. The only reason that Denmark gets 10% of their energy needs from wind is because the government heavily subsidizes wind power.

In the US, the governments, both state and federal, also subsidize wind power. Yet even with the competitive advantage of subsidy, no one can make any money selling wind power still. The only public company selling wind power went broke last year.

Yes, there may be valid environmental reasons for the government to subsidize wind power at the expense of fossil fuels. But the marketplace has demonstrated that wind power is not cheap at all.
