  • Wind is just infinitely cheaper than coal in every way. The scrubbers for sulfur alone in a 200 MW plant cost just to keep it from killing everyone and everything around are $400 million. A 2MW commercial wind turbine cost $4 million to install roughly $65k a year to maintain, which include admin, legal, leases, etc. so 200 MW of wind cost about the same as just the scrubbers in coal plant and $650k to maintain, vs Millions in maintenance in coal. Wind is not just greener, it is cheaper and better. The power source to turn the turbine is free!
