[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3802752, member: 5412"] That’s the purpose of a power grid. Typically in the Southwest power pool that encompasses Ok, and parts of Ks, Tx, and NM there are hundred or so of power plants 0n line inputting their generation into the load (customers). It’s all automated so that if a 500 megawatt power plant that can feed all of OKC on its own goes down to a malfunction, all of the other plants that are running at 90% of full load, each come up to 91% and the customer never sees a blip in their power. Wind and solar contribute to the needs of the grid for sure but their lifespan and durability leave much to be desired. The carbon footprint that the greenies are so quick to quote also fails in the manufacturing, transportation, erection and infrastructure of putting in the wind farms. Eventually they will be left as monuments on the prairies of a failed technology. [/QUOTE]
