Wind politics makes its own wind...
The first light bulbs burned out in a matter of seconds, and yet they were developed into one of the most formidable lighting sources after about 78 years of development. Looks like it's a really good thing they weren't developed in Massachusetts or we would still use candles!
Wind, water(hydro), solar and geothermal are the best resources to put to work making power. We really need these technologies. Oil, gas and coal are finite fuels that can be fickle to obtain, and become increasingly costly when scarce... never mind factoring in the refining and transport costs. Then again their byproducts may become a huge problem in our biosphere's tenuous balance. Intelligent decisions and commitments need to be made soon, in the interest of people and planet, not solely based on profits.
