Quite right. We should only use the electrical grid when the sun is shining and when there's a steady wind. Brilliant.

The problem with wind generation is that the best locations are not close to major transmission paths. Hince they build the wind farms and get paid not to run all the units(within ERCOT). Being paid not to generate plus the Tax credits, is a sweethart deal.
EVERY TIME you get politics involved, some gravey sucking pig is in it for them selves.
