To catch the wind

Generating electricity from the power of the wind is one of the few forms alternative energy that make economic sense at present :when a federal tax subside is factored in, wind the power is competitive whit the least expensive--- and most polluting—forms of traditional fuel , like coal. And it doest produce a wisp of carbon exhaust. The power industry is paying heed: by 2004, U.S. power supply as the did in 2000, and amount equivalent to the burning of 9millions tons of coal.So why isn’t wind power catching on ever one? Apart from the iffy nature of relying on the breeze for steady power, some folks bemoan the birds and bats that are cuisnarted by giant wind turbines, while others who live near wind farms grumble about noise, unpleasant views and declining property values. But as global warming heats up- well, you don’t need a weatherman to know witch way the wind blows.
