Serious Question: instead of large, ugly windmills, why hasn’t someone thought of a bunch of tiny windmills that could be strung along power lines or bridge cables that couldn’t be seen except close up? If there were hundreds of foot sized mills, it wouldn’t make noise or hurt birds but the quantity could equal a single huge one.

This excerpt from the article is why.

"Loss of wind causes Texas power grid emergency," read a Reuters headline on Feb. 27. Seems the electric grid operator was forced to curtail 1,100 megawatts of power to customers on just 10 minutes' notice after the wind simply stopped blowing.

You can't beat fossil and nuclear for reliable power 24/7.
