The Times reporters also claimed that wind power is one of the “lowest-cost sources of electricity in the United States,” citing the Department of Energy. While they provided figures of the growth of wind energy in the U.S., the Times reporters never discuss electricity rates, which would be expected to be falling if increased wind was producing cheaper electricity.

But the rates for residential customers rose higher than inflation. Some states, such as renewable-powered California, saw rates increase more than 8% compared to the national average of 4.8%, and there was no decrease in electricity prices anywhere. […]
