[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3795431, member: 5412"] Base load coal and NG power plants are currently being throttled in favor of the wind plants so facilities like OSU and OU can proudly stand and say they are totally green powered. They buy the projected wind generation in comparison to their actual usage so they can claim they are green. What happens in reality is that contractually they are required to shut down the cheaper coal and NG plants to make sure the contracts from wind are met. All the power from the windfarms is subsidized by the government or they would fail financially, so I don't and never have understood the "green power" movement when it's not actually green. [/QUOTE]
