Hawk I'm not sure whether it's a maintenance issue, or whether there is insufficient demand or distribution capacity. Modern wind turbines are very, very reliable from a mechanical and electrical perspective. Even more reliable than nuke and coal plants. These rows of wind mills will be merrily spinning one day, but be standing still the next (even in good wind conditions). I was in Germany a few years ago and watched a field of about one hundred wind turbines with about fifteen of then deliberately stalled. The wind had been blowing for about ten days and Germany had so much power generated from them that the major transmission lines leading out of the country couldn't handle all of the power! It happens quite a bit in Germany, especially in the wintertime. If you look at the load dispatch rates in Texas they have the same problems. I'm looking forward to the completion of the new DC converter intertie in Northern Texas so that excess power can be sent North, West and East.
