Green Energy Almost Cost-Competitive with Fossil Fuels
js7a writes "As reported in the Houston Chronicle, the sharply rising cost of natural gas and other fossil fuels has caused the cost of renewable energy to finally reach the price of nonrenewables. However, wind still has some catching up to do: 'a 10 percent wind- and 90 percent water-generated mix is about $9 per month less expensive than the 100 percent wind plan.' As more wind generation and grid transmission capacity is built, wind will eventually become more competitive than hydroelectric, but hydro and other sources will be required to balance grid demand in calm areas. Slashdot has been following this trend."
The cost of petro fuels includes bills for things like Iraq wars
Just because we don't use as much oil doesn't mean oil isn't valuable.
Using wind power doesn't change the fact that a madman sitting on billions of dollars can do a lot more damage than a madman with nothing.
A stupid liberal is just as stupid as a stupid conservative.

Do you have any numbers on how many rats have died? Or does having feathers make the difference among disease-ridden carion-eaters.
