Investing in Wind Energy: When Will Growth Peak?

The Production Tax Credit (PTC) for wind in the bailout bill was extended for one year. This is so the wind industry lobbyists will have to give contributions to congressmen every year when they come begging for renewal for another year. Crooks all.
No one would invest in this boondoggle without subsidies and tax credites. Enron scheme gone wild.
No fossil fuel generating plants anywhere have been shutdown as a result of installing wind turbines and no reduction of emissions will occur because wind must be backed up with baseload generation.

Investing in Wind Energy: When Will Growth Peak?

Your article is overly optimistic for wind power. You are basing your calculations on nameplate ratings which are never achieved over time. These machines are loud, ugly and a detriment to human health and wildlife.
Clipper and Gamesa have had problems with gear boxes and blades. Clipper had to recall their entire 2007 production.
This technology isn't new, only bigger.
Transmission for the amount of wind power you suggest does not exist.
Get some facts before spewing the bogus claims of the wind industry.
