Yes, Sir, I agree completely. In addition, there is a cost, in terms of crude oil, to build and maintain the wind generators - as well as the associated infrastructure you mention. The actual net energy return, over the life of the wind generation facility, has not (so far as I know) been determined. This is precisely the same sort of pattern we saw with corn ethanol - large-scale implementation of a new idea before considering the consequences.
And yet...in my opinion, we as a nation need to begin serious contemplation of the problem. If we don't, the outcome may be unpleasant.
