How Wind Energy Creates More Dependence on Fossil Fuels

How Wind Energy Creates More Dependence on Fossil Fuels [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Truth has a habit of emerging from unexpected places.
An article in the Daily Kos about the desire to end dependence on fossil fuels for energy needs reveals a “nasty little secret” about wind energy: It relies on fossil fuels. 
That’s a message wind energy opponents in Michigan have been trying to get across to the news media and the public over the past few years.
The article is part of a series titled “Getting to Zero,” by Keith Pickering, and is written with the premise that global warming is a dire and immediate threat.
It states, “If civilization is to survive, we need to get to zero emission of fossil carbon, and we need to get there rapidly.”
Overall it paints a pessimistic portrait of efforts to reduce carbon emissions from human sources."
