Aloha,

My understanding is that everything (solar, wind, otec, wave) can compete without subsidies against oil-based electricity if oil is greater than $80/barrel. With wind, the problem is getting landowners to accept them, and accurately measuring the wind speed to find the optimal location. FirstWind and others are exploring sites.

UH Manoa's Sustainable Saunders has a very short horizontal wind turbine on its roof. Rooftop wind is and should be installed along side pv and solar water heaters.
