Did not read, does it list for comparison the various takings from the
taxpayers to make it "cheap?" The utility aspect is pure politics, who
is in the pocket of the utilities to allow them to make the most money.
Whether or not wind power is viable should come down to what it costs to
install and operate a machine and deliver power to an end user, with all
aspects being equal to other options.

RENEWABLESBiggest U.S. market for tiny wind farms isn't the
breeziestPublished:
Monday, April 29, 2019
Turns out the best place to install a small turbine in the U.S. isn't the
Plains, where winds blow the strongest, but the Northeast where the
incentives are better.
The Northeast is home to the most capacity of net-metered wind power —
the
small-scale, behind-the-meter kind installed by homes and businesses —
with
Massachusetts having the most in the U.S., Energy Information
Administration data show. States in the region offer net-metering
programs
that allow customers to install wind turbines and credit them for the
power
they supply to the grid.
In fact, the Northeast, along with the West Coast, have some of the most
robust policies encouraging renewable energy development, and that's
what's
driving the installations, said Mike Bergey, chief executive officer of
turbine supplier Bergey Windpower.
"If it was related to wind, Montana or Wyoming would be in the lead," he
said, but "New York and Massachusetts in particular have been aggressive
on
promoting clean energy at both large and small scale." *— Gerald Porter,
Jr., Bloomberg*
