[QUOTE="kingfish, post: 3816313, member: 50496"] I don't think there is actually a conspiracy about wind turbines or other forms of green energy like solar. The only thing conspiratorial about it is the line of BS we are fed that it can and will replace fossil fuels in the near future. If the wind farm mentioned in the article is down to 10% of nominal output, then it would require them to build an additional 10x the number of existing turbine towers to supply a dependable peak load handling system. They won't do that because of the cost. They will just tell their customers to suffer through it for the good of the earth. [/QUOTE]
