Investing in wind is braindead – they should read the newspapaers and invest in solar thermal. Wind cannot help met new demand in any fashion – it’s non-dispatchable, birdbrains. And the need is for CARBON-FREE energy, not renewable, energy. Most renewable energy
lags way behind nuclear in its ability to reduce carbon. The job is to remove carbon from the atmosphere, not put it back.
