Alternative energy study puts wind power on top

Good news for wind, bad for ethanol in major energy study



The results of his mathematical ranking are both rational and
unexpected. Wind power emerged as the overall victor. When teamed with
battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, it claimed the top
two spots by winning seven of the eleven categories. Photovoltaics are
an unexpected also-ran, failing to make the top five. Politically
favored ethanol stands out as the big loser of the study, falling
behind "clean coal," a technology many consider a dead end. Ouch.
