Wind Power Barely Registers In June


This is the core problem with Wind and also Solar; as any competent engineer will tell you that it is basically impossible to go much above the 10% level of Wind or Solar for Grid level power. Using very optimistic values of 30% up time means you need three times the generating capacity if you even hope to get to a output equivalency of other forms. Hot backup is also required so the entire system makes no sense at any level.
