Most of you who've read this blog know that energy is a big issue for me. I'm passionate about not putting money in the pockets of Saudi Princes who pay others to blow us up instead of blowing them up.
Good article here about wind energy. Wind is a viable, renewable (we would all hope!), and cheap. It will be very difficult to scale up to being a huge contribution to the electrical grid, but it will be part of the eventual solution.
Great thing is to watch the environmentalists showing their colors. It is hard to fathom these folks...sometimes it feels like they are not at all interested in energy independence; just birds and plants.

Don't forget about coal fired plants. Using a new technology called FGD, (Flu,gas, desulfurization) eliminates more than 95 percent of the sulfur dioxide from the exhaust flue gases. The by-product is gypsum, used in sheet rock.
This is something I need to look into.
