If these industrial monsters must be installed, it’s best to do it an already industrialized area, not on pristine or rural land.

But most of them are going up wherever wind patterns see fit. There’s nothing “green” about their affect on the landscape. More like white, cold and evil-looking in many cases.

“However wind turbines recover the energy used to manufacture, install, and run them after only 4 or 5 months.”

Who cares?

A significant fraction is simply flushed down the toilet(offpeak, coal plants don’t shut down) or eaten up by spinning reserve. For each kWh of wind power you need 1-2 kWh of natural gas; NG is expensive and difficult to transport.

The grid is not a “bank”, hell, it’s not even a connected graph. Transmission, not generation, is the hard part and wind makes it much worse.

Noone is saying that wind turbines are the answer. It’s just part of the answer. I also admit that there are problems with it like ’scudlington’ said. In fact the turbines actually use a small amount of energy when there isn’t any wind. However wind turbines recover the energy used to manufacture, install, and run them after only 4 or 5 months. Coal plants never achieve this. So, WTs have flaws but they are greatly overshadowed by the benefits of putting them up.

Excellent! I look forward to it.
