Subsidising wind power is distorting the market. It's a political move
that smacks of the short term thinking that is endemic in high level
decisions these days.

Agreed. There is some justification for subsidising new technologies
initially, but not when they have reached a certain level - which I
would say wind power has reached. Though I am pro wind, I think it
should compete on an equal basis.
