The US overall generates about 4 terawatts of electricity, and a lot more energy is consumed in cars and trucks and trains and ships and other ways. A really big wind plant might produce three hundred megawatts, but only when the wind is blowing. 4 terawatts is 13,000 three-hundred-megawatt power plants. Not gonna happen. There are nothing like that many sites, for one thing.
Ireland is going all out on this and is going to manage about half a gigawatt, but only by exhausting every appropriate site in the nation. The US uses 8000 times that much electricity.
This says it all.

There are people out there who hate everything that the industrial revolution has brought us. They think we're too rich; they think we're too comfortable. This pretty much says everything about the tone of all that will follow.

"he will never accept the unconstitutional CFR bill that Bush signed"
Since this is unconstitutional, it should be under challenge right now in the courts. Do you have any information on how that challenge is going?

If you want to know real numbers just me some day. Numbers are meaningless when the wind doesn't blow.
In any case, you can freepmail me the numbers.

Numbers are meaningless when the wind doesn't blow. Not a true statement. All power plants have down time.

All power plants have down time.With RARE exception, almost always scheduled in advance, not up to God or the weatherman.

With RARE exception, almost always scheduled in advance, not up to God or the weatherman. Weather prediction works. Wind operators know how much power they are going to put out to various but a pretty high degree of accuracy quite a few hours in advance.

You act as if your audience actually cares about the facts.
Kudos.
