well, as I said, I'm happy for Pickens to try. I just am highly skeptical that it can be done on the scale we are talking about. We can't put windmills in the ocean where Walter Cronkite can see them, so I gotta wonder where we're going to put the tens or hundreds of thousands of mills that we would need to produce the volume of energy we are talking about. There are opportunity costs in land use, and even if we have huge wind corridors, I doubt we'd want to or could lock up all the land in them for use for windmills.
