"Although wind energy is a $2-billion-a-year industry in the U.S., it
provides less than 1% of the country's total electricity. That is about to
increase, though. "
"Wind is the world's fastest-growing energy technology, according to the
U.S. Department of Energy. Thanks to plummeting costs (at around 4 cents a
kilowatt-hour after subsidies, wind energy can be less expensive than that
produced by some new fossil-fuel power plants), installed capacity increased 36%
last year—enough to light the city of Detroit."
The Sioux wind is like...
... ten miles of a two-lane
On a South Dakota wheat plain In the middle of a hard rain A slow boat or a fast train I am gonna keep my head on straight Steady on! I am weaving, like a drunkard
Like a balloon up in the air I am needing a puncture and someone To point me somewhere I'm gonna keep my head on straight I just hope it's not too late Open up the gate I go straight on, steady on ...with apologies to Shawn and John
