The <a href="http://www.awea.org/blog/index.cfm?customel_dataPageID_1699=14546" rel="nofollow">Michigan Public Service Commission recently reported to the state legislature that the cost of electricity from new wind farms has fallen well below the cost of electricity from new coal-fired power plants</a>. And that's without considering the <a href="http://www.awea.org/learnabout/publications/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&PageID=4135" rel="nofollow">high environmental costs of coal and other fossil fuels, which are not reflected in their market prices</a>. A <a href="http://www.20percentwind.org" rel="nofollow">2008 study from the George W. Bush Administration</a> found that the extra cost of obtaining 20% of U.S. electricity from wind by 2030 would be about 50 cents per household per month.--Tom Gray, Wind Energy Communications ConsultantTom Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728522824855808421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-48553826146252903972012-05-12T11:07:09.230-04:002012-05-12T11:07:09.230-04:00Good job!
