A man of your wisdom needs to contact GE immediately to warn them of the huge mistake they are making by getting into wind generation big time. Cheney must be laughing his ass off too. When are they ever going to learn that coal is the future, as this administration is calling for a new fossil fuel plant a week, preferably coal, for the next 10 years. Now that is leadership.

"Today, more than 31,000 megawatts of wind energy are installed throughout the world, and are forecast to reach approximately 110,000 megawatts by the year 2007. With a cost of energy of approximately 3.5 – 4 cents per kilowatt hour, and declining, wind is a low-cost renewable energy source that is less expensive than coal, oil, nuclear, and most natural gas fired generation, and is becoming attractive to utilities and electric cooperatives.
At GE Wind Energy, our people are committed to making wind power as economically viable as it is environmentally sound. Through our team’s ingenuity and resolve we deliver cost-effective and reliable wind power today and diligently work to ensure its place in the world’s energy portfolio."
