Wind Power is not an easy thing

E71_24.10.2009_Sotkamo 113 I’ve been writing about wind power. It’s not an easy thing. The price of electricity with wind power is twice the price compared to nuclear or coal produced.

Wind is cheap. It doesn’t cost a dime, but the wind parks are expensive to build and we do have days that are not windy at all.

Finland believes in nuclear energy production. Wind power has a marginal position in the energy mix.

Interesting… I might try some of this on my blog, too. It’s quite interesting how you sometimes stop being innovative and just go for an accepted solution without actually trying to improve it… you make a couple of good points.

I totally agree. Wind parks are expensive and many environmental groups get on your back as well (birds die, lots of noise...)
