<<The cost of a kilowatt-hour of "wind generated" electricity has declined
from $.32 about ten years ago to about $.03 currently....and it's continuing
to drop.  Right now only natural gas is cheaper.>>

So how many communities run their heatings, by, say electric baseboard heat,
derived from wind turbines. What are the economics of this aspect, since you
are comparing windmills v. natural gas?

And many green weiners will care more about the birds then a clean energy
source (hopefully reliable as well). Those damn greedy wind-electric power
corporations are ruining everything...
