Not sure what you mean. Modern turbines have 98.5% uptime. Again, if you're looking at Altamont Pass, you're looking at the equivalent of Model 'T's. Or, at best, '62 Ramblers.
And even in the modern wind farms a lot of turbines are turned off at any given time because they need to be tuned to particular wind speeds and won't be on if the wind isn't going the right speed.
As I understand it, they produce electricity at wind speeds from 9 MPH to 50 MPH. That's the "right" speed. Put 'em where the wind blows, and they're turning. Look for an average-windspeed map on the 'Net. When I drive by the wind farms in NW Iowa or SW Minnesota, it looks like 1 or 2 of every 100 is stopped. That's just my observation.
It's becoming all the more apparent that you use canned responses.
Not sure what gives you that impression. If I come across as terse and/or short-tempered, it's because I've learned over the years that, no matter how much data we 'believers' post, the FR crowd has no desire to learn the facts about wind power. With a very few exceptions they are more than happy to simply, in effect, follow Rush's lead when it comes to wind power.
