Capacity factors mean nothing, all that matters is cost per kwhr and availability vs demand.

Cap factors mean everything. Wind mills are not the panacea they are claimed by many to be. They fall under the load following sector of the grid as their outputs vary considerably. Our last cycle was 18 month breaker to breaker, 97% capacity factor. We are a base load station. Wind mills are not. Their supporters should quit selling them as if they are base load generation.
