<\/a>\nInland south Georgia doesn’t have much wind, probably not enough\nto generate significant electricity, but wind farms off the Georgia coast\ncould.\nNow we hear fromm Zachary Shahan in Clean Technica that\n<\/a>\nInland south Georgia doesn’t have much wind, probably not enough\nto generate significant electricity, but wind farms off the Georgia coast\ncould.\nNow we hear fromm Zachary Shahan in Clean Technica that\n\nOffshore Wind Energy Cheaper than Nuclear Energy, EU Climate Chief Says<\/a>:\n\nEU climate chief Connie Hedegaard has added that offshore wind energy is cheaper than nuclear.\n\n…\n
\n\u201cSome people tend to believe that nuclear is very, very cheap, but\noffshore wind is cheaper than nuclear,\u201d\n<\/blockquote>\nHe’s picking up the story from the Guardian, in which\n\nFiona Harvey and Terry Macalister wrote 17 March 2011<\/a>:\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>\n\u201cThere are 143 nuclear power plants in Europe and they are not going to\ndisappear,\u201d Hedegaard said at the European Wind Energy Association\u2019s\nannual conference in Brussels. \u201cBut when it comes to new energy capacity\nthat discussion is likely to be very much influenced by what is happening\nin Japan.\u201d\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nWe currently buy most of our electricity from Plant Sherer near Macon\n(dirtiest coal plant in the country).\nWe can buy electricity from offshore wind farms no farther away.\n
\n\n
<\/a>\nWe already knew that\n\nsolar has become more cost-effective than nuclear.<\/a>\nNow wind has done the same.\nMaybe\n\nGeorgia Power<\/a> will get on with real clean energy:\nsolar and wind.\nOr maybe \nSterling Planet will.<\/a>\n
