I'm just pointing out that wind power should only be used as a backup source for energy. Would you dare heat you home with windpower in Minnesota ? I didn't think so.

I can see right now yer mind aint right. First we don't heat with electricity, especially in Minnesota. Second we are talking about large windmills feeding a grid. Have you heard of the grid? It is a network that connects hundreds of sources of electricity to millions of users.

What do you suppose happens to that grid when your kid turns on a light in his bedroom?
