Notlongnow: Can you point to a reference for the billions you say are being used to subsidize wind power in your area?

Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3.5 Million installed. So this means that at least 250 of them must have been installed at no cost to your local electric company (full subsidy). That would be quite a story in itself.

(I got the numbers from http://www.windustry.org/how-much-do-wind-turbines-cost)
