Granted..its been exaggerated. "Wind shutdowns accounted for 3.6 to 4.5 gigawatts -- or less than 13% -- of the 30 to 35 gigawatts of total outages, according to Woodfin. That’s in part because wind only comprises 25% of the state’s energy mix this time of year." That phrase "this time of year" is important. As weather gets colder, winds decrease. Heavier air. Relying on wind for heating power in cold times is not a good idea. Mother nature throws those of us who have to venture out in rough weather a break when it gets cold and generally backs off on the wind.
