“All told, wind supplies 17.6% of electricity use in Texas, and the state is the nation’s leader in wind energy generation.”
Vast swaths of land in Texas, with little population nearby. Interesting dance for sure.
The question is how many wind turbines can be deployed and how efficient they would be.
I would be curious how ERCOT actually balances the supply side, basically scheduling shutdowns or less than capacity. Like any business, volume counts. Sorry, 17.6% with uncertain availability is a problem for the primary source unless you have other sources. I keep hearing solar, uhhh all those flat empty tracks of land don’t seem to be planted or growing. The only conclusion I have is economics don’t work.
