[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3816355, member: 45773"] Like cowadle said, they get the electricity to power all their systems from the grid. And I've not been able to find a source that says how much they consume. That's one of the arguments against how much power they produce. It takes a lot of electricity to power the systems on these turbines and that's not reported in the "net power produced" figures regarding how much these turbines generate. Obviously you'd need to subtract the power they use from the grid from the amount of power they produce to get an accurate measurement of their usefulness. [/QUOTE]
