But some major (probably international, I don't keep track of commercial take voers etc.) companies have signed long-term guaranteed purchase contracts, which is a large contributor to the difficulties in getting hold of them for small or one off projects. So even if there was a sudden shift against them, there still some guaranteed income, unless there's some very clever legal jiggery pokery.
E-on seem to becoming an increasingly important electricity generating company in the Uk and they seem as keen ot build wind farms as ever (as well as nuclear power stations and coal etc).
Are you sure that BP is pulling out of the factory because it wants to reduce it's association with wind farms?
I'm not suprised people in Pantaloonia are becomeing anti-wind turbines if they are being so stupid about where they site the things.
