Thank you, Mr. Chair.
If you'll pardon the pun, I would like to just kind of clear the air on the wind power generation.
I'm not an expert in this field, but it's my understanding that of all the clean power sources, wind energy, from the point of view of cost efficiency and return on your investment, ranks very low on the scale of what you're getting, the bang for your buck. I've never seen a report yet that showed that investment in wind power can be sustained without massive and continuing subsidies from either the federal, regional, or provincial governments.
When Mr. Cullen points out that America and China are investing far more in wind power than we are, which may or may not be correct—I am assuming it is—it appears to me that they've made a decision to subsidize to a greater extent an alternate energy source that is not efficient, where Canada perhaps is putting more money into biofuels and development of more efficient types of clean energy.
Am I on the right track here, talking about the efficiency of wind power and of—I hate to phrase it like this—how bad an investment it really is by comparison to where we can put our money in other forms of clean energy development?
