My question about reliable and cheap wind power was mostly tongue in cheek.
I personally don't believe wind energy can stand on it's own without government subsidies. Why we throw good money away like that, I don't understand. If wind power made economic sense without government money, I'd be in favor of it.
I'm sorry I highjacked your thread. Your photos are good, but they remind me of bitterly cold winter weather, which in this part of Nebraska, we have not been blessed with as of yet! (note: my fingers and toes are crossed as I typed that!)
