In Texas, windmills produce 11% of the electricity consumed in the state.
Is that the grid connected equivalent, or is the actual generation contribution? If it is the actual contribution is it corrected for conventional plant “hot standby”? There’s a lot more to it than just a blanket statement. Now back out the subsidies and tell me about the economies of wind.
Wind Power works in Texas, there have been times when wholesale electricity prices became negative in Texas due to Wind Power generation.
The actual capacity of wind generation in Texas is 18%.
Also, Texas electric utilities are deregulated on the retail level and that permits the consumer to choose their utility company and even the source of their electricity.
u beat me to it!
no subsidy, no turbine
plus, they’ve ruined beautiful West Texas
