Message	Yes, I've seen more and more wind power coming up but it's very expensive to set up, many are sitting idle, and I get a sense the difficult maintenance is often overlooked. These things may look innocent but when they're running they produce a lot of energy that has to be managed properly. Plus wind power is not really predictable now is it, so you'll always need some conventional oil/coal infrastructure to back it up = more capital expenses.
