Yesterday I previewed comments from Daren Bakst, the Locke Foundation’s legal and regulatory policy analyst, about the growing push by environmentalists and policymakers for mandated public investment in, and use of, wind power plants. The full transcript of my recent Carolina Journal Radio interview with Daren is featured today at www.carolinajournal.com. You’ll find it here.

You’ll find more in-depth analysis of wind power by Bakst here, and his analysis of the critical need for low-cost energy in a prospering economy here. Locke Foundation Research Intern Geoff Lawrence also contributed to the low-cost energy paper and analysis.
