The dis-economies of wind power

April 14, 2013  ~ Letter by E. Tylor Claggett in Delmarva NOW

Wind power has been a part of the human experience for thousands of years and was a viable source of energy when alternatives were unavailable. During the last several decades, much attention has been given to this old stand-by as a way to produce environmentally friendly electrical power.

 However, alternative forms of power to generate electrical energy are available and are much cheaper when all of the costs are taken into account. The reason hydro, coal, gas and nuclear sources have been predominate for generating electrical energy is they are cheaper. Low cost will prevail in markets free of artificial influences.[Delmarva Now]
