The cost of energy is still high for windmills though ~ €0.09 / KWh instead of ~ €0.04
yep, the costs are higher (even though the costs for the depository for nuclear waste aren't included in the latter figure), windmills produce noise, might have an effect on the climate, etc...
it's certainly not the holy grail - I just wanted to be the smartass who corrects that initial quote I used.
Besides, I heard Obama supports windmills, so they're part of the leftie nazicomunnist conspiracy anyway.
Its just like politics, we can all bitch and nobody is right
