Like Houston TX during a hot summer day with literally millions of air conditioners going?
Isn’t that unfeasible?
What if there isnt any wind? We would still have to have a backup capable of providing 100% power.

More than could be sustainable.
“Green” is just the liberal word for “Greed.”
Wind power is another bogus technology pushed by liberals who cannot think things through.
Thousands.
You could build 10 Nuclear Plants on the same acreage.
Thousands of the 400 foot towers since they lose energy getting it to the grids etc Wind and Sun is not the answer and the world is on the down side now of running out of oil in a few decades which the young people today will have to face.
Actually there is wind technology based on controllable kites that can generate power in the megawatt range – and flown at variable elevation where the wind is constant and steady.
mix wind with solar… and you may cut your current energy needs from other sources in half… on a windy hot day…
which would probably cut everyone’s electric bill…
if you don’t care about cutting the energy and bill in half, well, that’s fine… but I would like a lower bill…
and as solar technology improves and batteries improve and wind tech improves… that half may be a whole in 50 years…
No one has proposed using wind as the sole power source. If we are serious about energy independence then it will have to come from a combination of many methods, of which wind will only play a small part.
