We have a SEVERE crisis in the first category and "merely" a major crisis in the second category. Unless we all start driving around in electric vehicles, wind power is not the answer to the oil crisis. It is, however, a very attractive option for power generation. Here, the wind industry needs to "grow up" and wean itself off of a diet of government tax incentives and subsidies. Hard-nosed financial analysis to drive private sector investment needs to be the underpinning of the industry over the long haul.
