Clarifying my statement about " we need to get wind turbine price tag to include pollution mitigation at bare minimum" in response to V. Burachynsky's response: the "we" was an inadvertent slip. I work with many environmental types and have for years who have pushed to get the true cost of producing and using nonrenewables included in the price tag so that the pollution results, and greenhouse results, were reflected in the actual cost. Therefore, it would seem correct to me that the same be done for the resulting renewable "preferable" technologies like wind.
And Nicholas Thompson -- I had no problem understanding your terminology. China of course needs to also start placing tax burdens on companies that cause pollution within their boundaries, just like the US needs to reflect pollution cleanup costs through tax burdens.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Peggy`s inquiries Reveal astonishing complexities. http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/editorial/story.html?id=c66e05ea-9596-4e38-9ead-72ffe5147a4c http://money.canoe.ca/money/business/international/archives/2011/03/20110304-081739.html http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article6860901.ece http://www.ggg.gl/News/Germany-passes-policy-to-secure-rare-earths.htm http://benmuse.typepad.com/arctic_economics/2008/07/baffinlands.html#more http://benmuse.typepad.com/arctic_economics/2010/03/chinas-arctic-interest.html#more Exporting pollution or exploitation of the weak and corrupt. This is way beyond just wind turbines. Peggy has asked a simple question and the components of the answer include, Australia, Malaysia, Japan, China, Canada, Greenland, Netherlands, Germany perhaps the USA. A Tax on American Wind Turbines seems almost futile at this point. It would never have the intended effect. I think we need another solution and Perhaps the WE should be a ``Global WE``.
