Localize the know-how and way-for
Get the wind in (or near) the demand centers.
Big wind counts on the consumer paying for new transmission lines. This will easily run consumer/taxpayer $120 billion and rob the industry of credibility. Instead of importing wind from the blue areas on the map at an extra 30-40% for non-existent transmission lines, utilities should be offering premium prices to homes, small business, and community wind/solar projects in or near demand centers. Base PRICE on proximity to DEMAND!
