I visited the west last year. I saw many wind farms. After the first few, I began to count the windmills. I noticed that about 10% or more of the units in each farm were inoperative. That is 10% of the capital is unproductive.
Wind cannot possibly be more economical than nuclear absent perpetual enviro lawsuits.
Solar might make juice for lots of uses but is DC.
