[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 1438630, member: 3371"] Large scale wind plants are constructed in well mapped 'Wind Corridors' where the wind blows nearly constantly at the altitude where the wind energy is tapped. In addition, when the wind declines at one farm it usually picks up at another and the total interconnected amount of energy remains relatively constant. Energy companies have done their homework and they have a good handle on the best ways to integrate wind power into the grid. China is pushing to become the world leader in wind and solar power technology because they know they are going to need all they energy they can get their hands on. You'll find few 'environmental wackos' in China. I realize that blacksmiths just hated to see transportation migrate to automobiles instead of horses but you can only fight progress for so long. Edison promoted DC current till he was blue in the face, preached about how dangerous Tesla's AC current was and fought him in court for years. But in the end, the technological superiority of AC current prevailed. And all along the way, some individuals fought against change and some embraced it. :) [/QUOTE]
