The point has been made as part of this debate that giving priority to wind is not a desirable renewable policy from a carbon emissions perspective. Is the commission solely looking at the cost, or is it also saying it stacks up from another point of view?

Is the witness also saying it stacks up and makes sense, as we try to achieve our carbon emission targets and reduce carbon emissions, that wind is the electricity solution, so to speak?
