Whispers of the Wind

So far to date the post that has generated the most amount of traffic here at the Dog's Den (the alternate title which has a little more flair), is Kansas Tosses Future into the Wind. Scott, in the comment section even suggested http://www.americaspower.org/ which talks about the role of coal in America’s demand of electricity. I live in an area that is actively moving in creating a small wind farm, but not instead of, more in support of the proven coal industry. Is it a good idea, well time and economics will prove it out.

I have seen the optimism of wind farms before, they failed 20 years ago. Technology and economics have changed in the passing years and every success story started with a long string of failures. I still think that the Governor of Kansas has made a huge mistake by relying on theoretical promises.
