intermittency

[hemi426]

Can anybody refute this: Enough fossil fuel generating capacity must always be kept on stand-by ("spinning reserve") to supply the shortfall when the wind drops Any emission / pollution reductions are thus virtually nullified no power station could ever close because of development, even major, of wind energy. Wind farms constitute an increase in energy supply, not a replacement, an extra environmental cost to add to that of fossil fuel.
