I have actually designed, built and operated a windmill, and I can tell you that the cost of wind energy is 4-6 times that of conventional. Western Alaska is littered with the skeletons of discarded windmills destroyed by icing and gale-force winds.

One million barrels a day is the equivalent of the energy we wold obtain from a 3.7-million-acre wind farm....the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined.
