Power increases to the CUBE of wind velocity. Twice the windspeed =
8 times the power. A hurricane would likely shred an AIR turbine. I

Biofuels are probably cheaper than petro. When you include the costs of the military in a barrel of mideast oil the real cost is not the quoted one.
The environmental costs are real as well. Unfortunately they are paid in sickness and reduced life -- and usually by the poorest members of humanit
