In Maine, during the last several years, hillsides over the northern part of the state are now heavily populated by huge wind turbines. (I am not from Maine: I only have a camp up there). When the company wanted the OK from Augusta, the people of the area were told , among all the other platitudes about wind power, that their electric bills would be substantially cheaper. Not so. All the electrical power is sold on the GRID. Northern Maine families are still paying sizable electric bills.
Absolutely in agreement.
