It wasn’t personal to you, but it was a diss of wind believers who won’t deal with the very real and serious problems of the technology. Wind power is fine for some apllications, great for farms that need to pump water, or for people who have no grid and can handle intermittent power. It’s simply not ready to be a player en masse and all the wishing or hoping or labelling it as free and clean isn’t going to make the turbines generate power when the wind isn’t blowing.
It seemed personal. It's fine for you to have problems with wind energy but going personal isn't.
I understand how the grid works and I realize that there are spinning reserves waiting to go on line. I also understand that demand rises and falls in a very predictable way every day and this all has to be managed to within about 1 percent supply exactly matching demand on the grid at all times. But it is not correct to think that no other resource is saved when wind power is on the grid. I have no doubt at all that Denmark could screw up their use of wind energy or a soup sandwitch for that matter. I loathe Countries where Homeschooling is illegal. But here in Iowa, we have 3,000 mw of wind power which produce about 7,000,000 mhwr of power in a year. That power goes to the grid and something else is curtailed. I agree that said curtailment is not 100 percent.
