Maria,until now I have been a listener as apposed to a contributer to this forum. Well,, I’m now paying some 59 or 60 some percent more for my electric service to the provider that is telling me that a supplier that is willin g to guarentee a set fee for 25 years for producing electric power is not as stable as the current provider that has increased our rates in the past,,, now I’m not sure when the price freeze took effect, but I don’t think it was 25 years ago. SOOOOO, lets give the current supplier the same deal. Are they, Delmarva Power, willing to offer the same deal, no increase in cost of power for 25 years, and lets factor in the cost of the wind farm over 25 years, 150million? Thats it, no increase in anything, nothing, for 25 years save a total of 150 million at the same terms as bluewater? Lets cut to the chase,,,, WHAT are they, Delmarva power willing to offer? Other than polution??????

I heard our electric bills will go up another $50 when the wind farm is finally built. Why?
Please answer online as I will be out of state tomorrow and unable to listen to your show.

Maria , please forgive my skepticism, but I have called into Mr. Larnard before. This is just another commercial for BWW. This is not a forum for debate of whether wind energy is a good idea or not.

Kingcrab, the figure is now more like less than a dollar per month. The $50 per month figure came from an earlier proposal which factored in the increasing cost of commodities, which Bluewater Wind has now rescinded.

With new more efficient and cheaper wind farm technologies coming in the near future(eg. use of solar sails), how would you convince the public to invest in your product that only will produce an inconsistent 1/9th of Delaware’s power at a cost that will take us 25 years to pay off and that will still make us dependent on power plants which cause pollution?
