Government allows for more space for wind power

This Article from The New York Times seemed very interesting to me. The Federal Government is willing to let more space open for the wind energy scheme. It would give us more power, a bit more easy on the environment. I'm no advocate or crazy environmentalist, but it seems like a good idea. However instead of spending money to do so, it should go to more pressing matters. Our president may be thinking right for doing this, but is it important at all? It is a way for us to save money, however, it is costly first. This explains how it can create more jobs, and that is good I suppose. This Article is interesting to me, and is interesting to know plans for better energy.
