Iberdrola Wind Project Documents and Links
True cost of Electricity from Wind.
Federal subsidy is 2 cents/KWH. In 2009 Iberdola received additional $546 Million, ~60% of total $900 Million from US Federal Gov’t for ‘Cash Grant in lieu of Investment” Tax Credit.

http://putnamsentinel.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=7716 This has very interesting comments below it. Here is one I found extra-interesting.
SB 232 requires the payment. It is not negotiable downward. Furthermore, the County can reject the terms of SB 232 and require instead the full tangible personal property tax of $41,000 per MW that REAL ELECTRICAL GENERATION FACILITIES are required and can afford to pay! Taxpayers already foot the bill for wind to the tune of 2/3 of all costs, and still the state had to mandate untilities buy the sporadic streams of electricity. What does that tell you, people? Wake up!
