[edit] References
Can we get some references on costs beyond numbers from one of the biggest advocates of wind power? (Lester R. Brown)k,pjkopj
The biggest sticking point for me is to back up this claim: "Since then it has dropped to 4¢ or below at the best wind sites, and some U.S. long-term supply contracts have been signed for 3¢ per kilowatt-hour."15.243.169.72 22:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cost comparisons
It would be nice to see the cost of wind generated electricity vs. coal vs. gas vs. nuclear vs. solar, operations and startup, with and without subsidies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edibobb (talk • contribs) 22:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] kilowatt-hours data needed
It is great to see the capacity data (MW). But this is just theoretical! We also need real yearly kilowatt-hours (kWh) data state by state for wind, and for total electricity consumption by state. Then we can figure out percent electricity from wind by state. -69.87.204.37 (talk) 15:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
