I think it foolish rather than impressive. This same wind powered grid
that provided 100% of electrical demand for a single day could tomorrow
drop to 2% of electrical demand. Because of that everyone of these
existing wind turbines and those yet to come represent duplication of
existing generating capacity. That's because power must still be
produced when the wind doesn't blow.
Why is it that the renewables industry has been allowed to press ahead
with new solar and wind farms when there is no practical battery/storage
technology known that can store the surplus power for when the sun
doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow? A day of reckoning is coming
when people finally realize that all of this investment is duplicating
the existing power generating capacity with no hope of the renewables
making it on their own... ever.
