Am beginning to understand why we have such an emphasis on wind energy.

Wind energy is a disincentive to keeping our electric grid reliable as it keeps natural gas plants from being built. If I were a foreign hostile power trying to cripple us, I would produce wind turbines cheaply so we could use lots of them.  While at the same time I purchase coal from them to run power plants I continue to build.

Sounds familiar to what is now happening?

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
