The fact that you can build new transmission lines anywhere today is remarkable. Wind may work well with combined cycle generation as the combustion turbine can get to 100% power in a few minutes when the wind dies down.

Not surprised it is in Texas which has become the last holdout for the American economic system.

For perfect reliability, you just need a gas turbine to power a big fan in front of each wind turbine.
