A bit like wind farms - a political expedience, not a viable alternative...Posted by Keith/QUOTE]
Per Wikipedia............
Wind power in California has doubled in capacity since 2002. With a total of 4,287 megawatts installed, as of the end of March 2012, wind energy now supplies about 5% of California’s total electricity needs, or enough to power more than 400,000 households.

I wonder what the windmill to household ratio is.
Funny how the government susidizes these eyesores, that KILL BIRDS!!!!!!!,
"“The key problems with current policies for wind power are simple. They require a huge commitment of investment to a technology that is not very green, in the sense of saving a lot of CO2, but which is certainly very expensive and inflexible. Unless the current Government scales back its commitment to wind power very substantially, its policy will be worse than a mistake, it will be a blunder,” Professor Hughes said."

Wind power is hugely subsidized, and it looks like hell. Funny how the government susidizes these eyesores, that KILL BIRDS!!!!!!!, while blocking owners of private land over a flea or snail.
