Read this one:

It is a real world example that refutes what you are saying. Wind is reducing the cost of electricity in Iowa. They were so unhappy with 20% of their electricity coming from wind that they apparently now have 25%. They are so unhappy with this they are working to build more. The latst being the articles subject. If I remember correctly, they have a republican congressional rep who is pro-wind.

They can only cut back the RET if they win the September election against Rudd’s Labour and the Greens – probable but not a sure thing. One Aussie betting site gives the odds at 5:1. Rudd is a more skilled politician than Abbott and he’s not Julia Gillard, so he has a chance to hold on.
