Can you explain your comments? Who is a Natural Gas Professor? What is an chk and ep holder?

I am not sure if your are disputing my assertion that large windfarms require substantial power backup, typically gas turbines. Gas turbines are not very efficient compared to other electrical energy generation options. The high cost of natural gas makes gas turbines even less attractive.
