wind power??????????

We have a lot of wind here in the Midwest US. I was just wondering why the heck we don't have more? I am very concerned about conserving fossil fuels and the environment. I think that we shoud decrease our fossile fuel usage by about 40%. It's a big stretch, but with new hybrid technology coming soon. and with exploring alternative energy sources. How can I write a letter convincing the government to make more wind plants even before the presidential election?
thanks,
Sam

Alternative Energy?

I've read reports that by 2030, 115 million barrels of oil need to be produced to the meet the increase needs of China and India.
This particular author advocated highly for alternative energies.
However, I read another source, where the argument was that alternative energies were just as harmful to the environment.
It is clear that the stifling need of fuels from over-populated India and China pose a large challenge, but is alternative energy the answer? Is there really enough oil to last us at least a century as some sources suggest? It's difficult to get the truth from so many differing biases on our economy and fuel-usage.
