Higher Electricity Bills

We talked about higher gas prices, now let's look at the cost of electricity. Your power bill is about to go up. Why? Because we are building windmills to generate electricity, and they cost hundreds of millions of dollars. But isn’t it worth it, you say, to help reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions? Well, let’s take a look and see if they do.
Generating electricity with wind is supposed to reduce emissions by allowing coal fired power plants to be shut down. The idea is to replace electricity generated in coal plants with electricity generated by windmills. The problem is, we can’t shut down our coal plants, so the theory doesn’t work.

We can’t shut down our coal-fired power plants because we still need electricity when the wind isn’t blowing hard enough to turn the windmills. Can you imagine your power going off every time the wind slows down!?
