    You can betWhen T Boone speaks the hedge funds salivate, over the bubble they can create in wind power site land.  Just as they are speculating in corn growing land right now.
    Unless the government acts the price of wind power will rise with the greedy manipulation of "free" markets by insider trading.
    Yep, let them trade it all.  That'll hedge our risk for US!

    But my Monopoly set......doesn't have windmill, ear of corn or solar concentrator dish tokens. However if you land on the "nuclear power plant" square the bill is a monster and you have to pay again every time you play the game from then on.
