For the tiny wind industry, the Californian plunge into a competitive electricity market is both daunting and filled with promise. Not only does the state have the highest electricity prices in the western US, giving wind more of a chance than in areas where power is sold dirt cheap, it is also the crucible for large scale wind energy development. Few places in the world have so much experience of wind power, making the technology an obvious choice for meeting free market demand for green power.
