[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 3801557, member: 7203"] it has been manymany years ago i attended the oklahoma symposium on wind power. i was fortunate enough to be coupled with an engineer from con ed in new york . in our discussions he was in the same camp as you and was of the opinion even then that the giant wind farms were not really feasible because or ramp up and down problems in the wind. he said at the time the science supported a theory that every land owner could have a small turbine that would grid tie. the small turbine would provide most of the electricity for that customer and the rest could be sold back to the power company. his explanation was that thousands of smaller turbines spread across the country would run at a more constant than the large farms would and if one dropped out or slowed down the effect would be insignificant. but guess what. they opted for the big corporate subsidized tax harvester instead of common sense.
