Currently, the initial online costs of a wind farm is approximately 20% higher than a coal fired plant. But after building there's no feeding the monster, no mining or transportation of coal and associated upkeep, or pollution. Wonder how long those turbines crank before they need a rebuild?

Something like 35 states (including FL, but not KS or MO) have adopted net-metering policies. Interesting that most are limited to 10 kW output?
