[pianotech] "Why not Minot?"

[Don]

Hi Del,

Yes, I have heard that statement and always wonder at the affrontery of
buring non renueable resources, when we could have the wind for the cost of
building the turbines. Cost for a full size unit is now about $600,000.00
US. or $0.06 cents a kilowatt. They compare that to coal fired about 1/3
the price per watt--but I dont' believe they factor in the price of the
fuel, just the initial cost of the units.
