In order to bring wind generated energy production up the tax payer will pay a heavy price‚ to raise the wind energy production level from just 1.5% to 4% over the next ten years it will cost at least $29 billion in federal subsidies (Alexander). Nuclear power is better suited for the economy as it is a cheaply produced source of energy‚ yet the United States is not capitalizing on it. This lack of nuclear energy investment on the United States is resulting in other countries
