10 Drivers for Wind Power Declining Wind Costs Fuel Price Uncertainty Federal and State Policies Economic Development Environment/Water Public Support Green Power Energy Security Carbon Risk

11 As a Result of Foregoing Trends, Wind Prices Have Been Rising Since Wind power prices bottomed out with projects built in Projects built in 2008 are ~$15-20/MWh higher on average 2008 Wind Market Report; LBL
