Hi Phil, it is a pleasure to see a "rant" like yours in this den of vipers. I agree with you that energy independence for America should be a high priority. A good place to start is the FAQs at awea.org. Wind power at some sites is now below .05 kWh, and the cost is dropping rapidly. The latest designs are much more efficient than earlier designs, and because they rotate more slowly, bird killing and noise are no longer significant problems. The latest windmills can furnish power for 2,000 houses EACH. Farmers love them because they provide a new source of income while taking up only a small part of their land.

Citizens lined up Wednesday to urge Colorado Springs Utilities to give as much thought to wind power and conservation as to a proposed cleaner-burning coal plant.

All over the country people are waking up to the benefits of wind as a clean, endless way of producing power.....

"A string of utility customers and civic advocates told the City Council, sitting as the Utilities Board, that a combination of electricity derived from wind power and a cut in demand through conservation could delay or even negate the need for the proposed $250 million coal plant."
