Wind Magic and others, whether or not solar power and wind farms make economic sense is of no importance to Democrats. They like the idea of that kind of power so they are going to make it happen. This is why there is going to be a huge government subsidy for the GM Volt that will be out in the next year or so. The car won't be bought by sensible people because it isn't economically feasible, so the government is going to spend taxpayer money to get people to buy it. This is also why they oppose nuclear power: they simply don't like that kind of generation. New plants are clean and the technology exists to drastically reduce the amount of by product, but the liberals will oppose them no matter what. Hence, the liberals would like for the US to look like Europe: they don't like the decisions the market place makes, so they want to substitute government fiat. This is how Europe and the EU work, it is why their economy is permanently in the tank compared to ours, and that is secondary in importance to making sure that the right political decisions are made, as opposed to the right economic ones.
