Now you know why wind projects can't get financing.. The only thing that was attractive about them were the tax credits... THOSE ARE THE ECONOMIC FACTS!! You should hope and pray that Obama doesn't borrow an idea from Canada to extend this failed idea-"super depletion" where you can deduct, depending on the program, 120% to 140% of every dollar invested, which often results in a tax refund. In this way, the gov't still gets some leverage for every dollar they invest, even if it doesn't make any economic sense, and alot of money and effort continues to be over invested in alternative energy like wind and solar power.
