That generation chart is in the “so what” category. Wind power is not available when and where you need it. Electrical power is used as it is produced. The only reason you can have that wind generation is that you have other plants to make power when the wind isn’t blowing.

So you have to buy two or three full-size plants where one used to do the job: wind turbines + fossil fired turbines + batteries.

And, from a total systems perspective, it requires a lot more materials to build a wind system than a fossil-fueled or nuclear-fueled system.

It is a colossal scam.
