It's not just about volume to volume, the per capita is what we're trying to increase. The financing will get there from anyone who is watching the market potential of renewable energy and the carbon market. Wind is a great resource. The U.S. is so very far behind in this category.

Countries like Denmark are on track to generate 50% of their electric power needs with wind energy. Obviously in a climate with as little sun as Denmark it was an obvious choice. Some of the USA has good wind, other parts have no wind resources. Unfortunately Enron grabbed up much of the wind rights (subsquently sold to GE), so again megacorporations control it all, which means higher prices and slow progress. Americans are very stubborn about accepting windmills, and wind energy will be slow to catch on here. Too bad because it is a really clean and easy way to generate electricity.

Just look at the wind's contribution in pushing Columbus here and later, the Mayflower. Hell, the big coal and nuke plants could even rig up some extra turbines to generate more electricity from their polluting stacks. Most politicians could do the same with their jabber-jaws. There are so many ways to generate electricity, it can be so extremely accessible that it should not be considered a commodity anymore but an expected right and freedom.

T-bone Pickens the greatest oil trader of all time is putting up 6 billion in wind energy. The guy is 80 years old and sharp as a knife. He is one of the richest guys in the world and has no need to make any more money. He does want the USA to become more energy independant rather than pay 700 billion a year in foreign oil. Oil has been coming down in the short term lately but it is clear it is going a lot higher in the long term. Eventually we will be out of oil and we need to start finding a very efficient way to generate energy off the earth. For the short term though i agree your not going to see anything spectacular until maybe 10-20 years in the future, but you gotta start somewhere. I think tbone is doing the right thing.
