Since wind normally supplies about 1/3 of installed capacity due to the unreliability of wind I’m suspicious of the numbers.
The article stated capacity, which as you note is significantly different than generation. Your 33% capacity factor is optimistic. I think the industry average is in the range of 25-30%. Which is weird because if any other form of capacity produced in that range there’d be calls for whoever planned it to be sacked on the spot.
Yeah me too. Wind will never deliver the promise for the land area it takes and the effort it takes to maintain ....
Nuclear power is the only viable alternative, other than living in caves.
