Not really. Our government spends about a hundred times more for oil companies than it does for alternative energy.
I'm not talking about percentages. I'm talking about the FACT that these hundreds upon hudreds of wind generators have FEDERAL FUNDING behind them. So there's no reason to try to sidetrack it with inane comparisons.

It SHOULD be more. But at least it's a start.
