Sorry, Bike, but Texas is in the South. You're just subdividing the Southeast and Southwest. It's all below the Mason-Dixon Line. The article mentioned the capacity of the wind farms, not the expected output, but in one regard, your arguments are valid: subsidies distort the energy marketplace. Now if we can just eliminate the oil, coal and nuclear industry subsidies, including their environmental costs, we'll all see the real cost of energy. Your objective analysis of the "crappy, unreliable wind power" is an inspiration to Luddites everywhere.
