USDE: “…the vast majority of Missouri is considered only marginal for producing electricity (12-14 mph) with the exceptions being the extreme northern Missouri and the southwest corner of the state (14-15mph).”

It may not be cheaper energy, but it will keep money in the community.

“Factor in maintenance costs and the true costs to the environment, and wind energy becomes the most economical resource for generating electricity.” (Howard T. Odum) http://www.myflorida.com/fdi/edesign/news/9607/thesis/energy.htm
