    Wrong on two counts.

    The running cost of generating wind power is close to zero because unlike your filthy coal, wind is free. This means wind power is able to bid a lower price than coal during periods of high demand, provided the turbines are running. This makes our power cheaper.

    You would have a marginal point if the cost of the RET were not being offset by cheaper wholesale prices.

    But it is so you don't!

    Heres the link from an authoritative, impartial source.
