Actually, wind (with a production tax credit) is competitive with coal.
Bottom line is that without subsidies (production tax credit) this would not be competetive and self sustaining, and would eventually go away.
Example.... new ethanol plant built in SE North Dakota, scheduled to open 2 weeks ago. Closed indefinitely because the price of corn is too HIGH, not cost effective anymore.
DOH !!
