Wind Power: Economics and Investment Opportunities

Good news, bad news. The fuel is free but the capital investment is high. The major problem is it's reliability- Other electric power sources have to be available when the wind doesn't blow which impacts revenues for wind power and further increases the capital investment required for other energy sources. It is like saying "I have to have two automobiles instead of one, a convertible to drive on good days and a 4-wheel van to drive on the bad days".
Personally, I like geothermal power- the energy source is free and it can operate at maximum output 24/7.
for what it is worth.. JS
