Represents a small portion of our energy requirements
Intermittent technology Heavily subsidized: production tax credit
of 2.1 cents per kilowatt hour through 2012
Spain: for every megawatt of wind installed, 4.27 jobs lost elsewhere in the economy
Denmark: exports wind power to Norway, Sweden, and Germany
Large land mass requirements Energy resource, not a capacity resource Cannot be stored
