Wind is great. Put them all over the USA...they still will not replace the oil industry.

If Iowa core demand is growing and they are planning to create core demand by adding wind generation, that is dumb. But you see utilities are run by very conservation people. So I expect that an economic analysis of incentives and risks suggests that over time generating power will be cheaper using wind power. But that does not matter to the requirement to create more core capacity. Idaho has no-one living there, no industry and none is moving in. So I expect that they have surplus core capacity. Wind for them will be cheaper. It has nothing to do with supplying more core power to areas of the country where the core capacity is falling behind demand. With everyone building natural gas electric plants and no-one looking for more natural gas. The cost will go up dramatically There is also a problem infrastructure for piping natural gas around the country. delbie you are the only idiot.
