When the wind blows. Conventional plants are still on “hot standby” to cover the troughs. All this does is amount to grid destabilization.

That's Iowa! And the same problem that California has - wind peak energy doesn't align with peak energy needs.

So hey IOWA - where are you storing the energy from the wind for use during non peak hours, huh?

What is the formula behind that number? In layman's terms, please (consumption, production, potential, etc.).
