< It all depends on where you live. In Central Illinois the terrain is flat and windy. Our co-op looked at joining a wind power project but during the summer when it's 95 degrees with 95% humidity we get a lot of dead calm days. We're building a coal plant instead. >

Cheney will be pleased that you chose coal. I agree that wind power is not for everyplace, at least not yet, but there are plenty of places where it makes the most sense. Illinois can build a power plant right next to the coal, and thus avoid the shipping cost.
