Windfarms truly are economically pointless. They are unable to respond to power demand, and only blow at the times of the year when power spot prices are low (windy conditions in winter are mild and hence the system is less tight, windy conditions in summer are cooler and hence the system is less tight).

This thread is POINTLESS!THEY!!111 OMG WTF LOL LET DA NOMADS AND TEH S3D3NTARY PEOPLA BOTH MAEK BITER AXP3REINCES

DO NOT THAN DISPUT3 ON THEM 3XCAPT BY WAY OF AN 3XTARNAL DISPUTA!!!!11!! WTF

This is why more credible supporters of alternative energy sources (instead of fossil fuels or nuclear power) also try to push the idea of upgrading our energy distribution networks (the powerlines et al). A sunny day in on area could help offset a calm windless day in another, with existing power plants (like the belcher plants of oil and coal) picking up any slack.The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

Depends on their location. The wind blows here year-round.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Well, the longer the energy industry and the federal government hem and hah and whine about the costs, the more expensive it's going to get...
Only naive idealists have ever believed that pure solar or pure wind power could ever meet the needs of large population centers any time even remotely soon. Fixing the power dist. networks by just replacing aging lines with modern lines (not futuristic super-conductive lines made of unobtanium) would go a long way to offsetting power needs. That region wide power failure in the Northeast US/Canada might not have been so wide-spread had the lines been replaced like people had been shouting for for years.
Progress isn't cheap. Talk is.The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

The supply is there no matter the demand. You can't store it, but it's still there.
And yes, Tubes.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I'm a big proponent of wind, and solar. I think we've been morons not to develop it before now.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Is it Aspergers, Doddler? I'm just curious what the cause is of this anti-environmentalist fixation you appear to have."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

There's a difference between not favoring something and being seemingly obsessed with it."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned
