  • Why Isn't Midwest Wind-Generated Power Blowing East? [View article]
    The biggest problem with wind generated power is that it does not make any economic sense. The best data I gathered says that electricity generated using wind is on the order of $.18/kwhr. This is, by the way, what the mandated cost of it is in California. Compare this to coal generated electric power (about $.03 to $.05/kwhr) and gas fired electric power (about $.07 to $.09/kwhr). Without huge government subsidies (i.e. taxpayers), windpower is not economic. Are average Americans willing to have their electric bills at least doubled?

  • How Carbon Caps Will Affect Utilities Sector [View article]
    Bet on China and India. They don't do the politically correct power thing so their energy will be much cheaper then the US. This will accelerate the shift of energy intensive industries from the US to them. So, to make money, bet on China and India if cap and trade becomes a reality.
