[QUOTE="k4ylr, post: 3422648, member: 40231"] Nobody is talking about running an entire country on 100% wind or 100% solar and storing it 100% in batteries. In what world is that even a reasonable conclusion to jump to lol. You could be anti-everything and still realize that's a pants-on-head retarded assumption. [URL='https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tJ-LivK4-78/hqdefault.jpg']It's also hilarious that you completely disregarded everything in my post to shriek about something entirely different.[/URL] [URL='http://css.umich.edu/factsheets/wind-energy-factsheet']But here's a great primer for just how much wind-capacity there is available.[/URL] Hint: It's a lot: • Global onshore and offshore wind power potential at commercial turbine hub heights could provide 840,000 TWh of electricity annually. Total global electricity consumption from all sources in 2017 was about 22,347 TWh. Similarly, the annual continental U.S. wind potential of 68,000 TWh greatly exceeds annual U.S. electricity consumption of 3,896 TWh. [/QUOTE]
