Windmill Power may cost twice as much. MUST READ

[Swimmer]

This morning in the Globe an article that was first published in the New York Times on 5/22/2006 was reprinted. The article was about a cost analysis study paid for by the Koch family of America's Cup fame. It is an extraordinary read and if the assumptions made are true then we could be paying 50 to 100 % more for power from wind mill company. And the power derived by these windmills may not be saleable in a region that has more power than it knows what to do with. This article is on page A15 of the globe. I will type from one paragraph that is especially disturbing: "Furthermore, through skillful lobbying, Cape Wind has managed to avoid federal lease bonus payments, royalties and deposits for demolition upon abandonment of the project, required by the Department of the Interior for all offshore oil and gas prjects to operate in federal waters. This loophole is worth hundreds of millions of dollars." This goes along with what I have been talking about all along. No access to the area during or after construction, after they fall in disrepair it will be too expensive to be fixed, they will end up being left there, and our tax dollars is the only reason that it is even remotely financially feasible.
