Dems, if wind is "free," why does wind-energy cost so much? Why did Ted Kennedy fight

[Rancid Stench of BO]

to stop Cape Cod from? ...putting up wind turbines, which 0bama recently approved over Kennedy-family objections?

 

[Bill G IV]

The fuel costs are very near zero but the initial costs such as wind farm construction, transmission costs, maintenance costs, and energy storage costs overwhelm the advantage of the low fuel cost.

Energy storage is huge problem right now because batteries are too expensive and flywheels are too inefficient.
