Guess what, it represents a risk when the wind DOESN'T blow--truly a technology for all seasons! So wind represents a risk if the wind blows?

Wind could play a small role in energy production on an individual way especially in rural areas, such as farms and homes if it were subsidized by governments through a tax credit and on a smaller scale and piped in to a homes electicle system. In ten years we will realize we have been had and these turbines will just be enefficient eye sores, but some one will have made a pile of money by alarming the mass population and forcing governments to impliment this junk. Given the world econmy we should revert back to clean coal, fossil fuels, and pebble bed nuclear power which is safe and clean, no rods to dispose of and you can put six of them in three foot ball feilds so they could be installed closer to the load.
