Wind Energy: Oklahoma's Big Windfall?

Five years ago, you would have looked at some ground in west Texas and it would have been 80% bare.

The wind turbines sound great, to have wind engery.
(We will always have plenty of wind, while the Democrats are in office)
While driving thru west Texas the Turbines looked great, also it was good to see oil being pumped....IT'S TIME OKLAHOMA WAKES UP......OKLAHOMA SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET......

Build them now. AEP just wants coal and NG plants cause it's quick and easy, but the Ohio suits have no real concern over Oklahoman's welfare or they wouldnt have fought so hard to keep from burying lines (even after the ice storm).

Great story, we have been working with Alternative energy for several years now and wind is one of the higher efficiency models. At Tulsa Community College - NE Campus we are using a 1kW wind system with another going up later in the Fall for our Alternative Energy Program

AEP is just talking wind mills to get new transmission lines built to where they plan on building coal plants.
They have been doing this all over the country, and their broken promises are the big reason windmill companies have had to lay off workers.
