Here in Britain, we have three major wind farms generating electricity.  It
was announced on the news a few days ago that the plants are to be expanded
so that more renewable energy is available.  What do you think the power
companies said???  This would make the electricity go up in price!  I would
assume the wind farms are government funded, so they should be getting the
free energy cheaper than the fossil fuels.
