Just another area where collusion between corrupt corporations and corrupt politicians has kept America miles behind the rest of the world. Here is what the 8th biggest industrial economy in the world can already achieve.

Spain Sets Wind Power Generation Record
By generating 40% of the energy required by wind Spain set a world record last week. When high winds blew through north-west Spain on Thursday, a massive 11,180 MW was generated. ....
.... The figures came as the World Wildlife Fund praised Spain’s rapid move into renewable energies. Spain has also earned praises from WWF for its overall effort in developing renewable energy during the past 12 years. By the next year Spain aims to meet 30% of its annual electricity demand from renewable sources.

I love wind. It's the biggest scam/cash cow we have going today. It doesn't generate enough energy to cover the actual energy that is used to build and maintain most systems. For a town of 100K it will require a wind farm that covers over 50 square miles. To build a wind farm large enough to cover the entire country, no including factories, businesses or Al Gore's home, will take the area of Canada.

Wind is a scam and I hope when they prove there is no global warming, they go after experts like Al Gore and Mike Moore with the same drive as they did promoting their profit centers. -
