Wind Industry Study: Electricity Prices Skyrocketing In Largest Wind Power States


Wind Industry Study: Electricity Prices Skyrocketing In Largest Wind Power States

A newly published paper by the American Wind Energy Association illustrates that electricity prices are rising more than four times the national average in nine of the 11 states with the most wind power consumption. In Texas, the only one of the 11 states with significantly declining electricity prices, deregulation rather than wind power is causing the decline in electricity prices. The findings are a huge blow to advocates of renewable power mandates and wind power subsidies.
