"A Wind Power Boonedoggle"

Just sent a link to this article from a friend in the USA. Remember T. Boone Pickens? Praised by Al Gore and Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader because he promoted wind power?

Read Robert Bryce's article in the Wall Street Journal (online) to find out what T. Boone Pickens is doing now.

A quote from the article:

"...the free-market price for natural gas is about two-thirds of the subsidy given to wind. Yet wind energy still isn't competitive in the open market."
