    "The thing that makes this one different is that wind keeps getting cheaper and cheaper in price," he said. "Every year that we move along the economics look more favorable."

Anyone mind explaining this one to me?

The wind still blows relatively the same. The land still costs the same. The towers are still tall poles with blades attached. The generators are still generators.

Where are the saving coming from?

I don't ask this question from the point of view of a skeptic, but rather an uninformed pleb.
