What's funny about this thread is that most of you all have common sense and can see through all the hype and BS about wind power and realize that the only way putting up a windmill can even come CLOSE to being attractive is with a HUGE government subsidy. The economics are just not there. Yet, our politicians (especially the governor here in Michigan) all have jumped on the GREEN bandwagon and are pinning the future on crazy schemes like this. Want clean power? How about building a few nuclear power plants. Other countries do it.
So, if a bunch of guys/gals who type on a TRACTOR FORUM can figure out the math and determine it's a scam, why can't our elected politicians? (no insult intended). When they were told it's not economical, did they back off? No, they just threw money at it to try and make it LOOK economical. They need to quit using tax policy to try and engineer our society into the image they want. If windmills made economic sense, I am sure companies couldn't build them fast enough for us to buy them.
