Lordy, lordy, Mdn, you are really intent on proving yourself to be a total idiot.
Over 7% of Oregon's power is now supplied by wind. As for the rest of your drivel, whatever you are smoking has completely fried your brain.
Oooh ... a whole 7% ... that's so much ... what will they do with all that extra power ...
... I know, stop having to buy 50% of it from our coal plants here in Washington.
So far Old Crock has yet to prove this, I challenged you when you stated Oregon can supply power to all of seattle and portland, that was a pure lie, sure you linked to an article but the article was nothing but propaganda.
Oregon has installed enough wind mills that have the potential to supply 7% of Oregon's power, yet they do not, they supply less than 1%.
Still to put this is perspective Old Crock must tell us how much energy is used to produce one ton of fiberglass.
Old Crock if you are as smart as you say you are how come you cannot answer one basic question on the science you claim to know so much about.
The answer to my question proves beyond any doubt that Wind farms suck. Hell they only provide power 6% of the year, thats it. In theory they disregard that the wind does not blow all year at sufficient force to spin the windmill.
So how much energy and which types does it take to produce one ton of fiberglass. Cant answer than you are all full of shit.
Idiot.

Wind power grows but still a small percentage of market
August 24, 2009
By Natural Resource Report,
According to the latest statistics from the Energy Information Agency, non-hydroelectric renewable power provided three percent of total electricity generated in the U.S. for 2008 up from 2.5 percent in 2007.The growing importance of state renewable portfolio standards and the proposals for a national renewable energy standard have sparked an interest in the share of U.S. generation provided by renewable energy.
As seen in Oregon, wind power accounted for the greatest increase in capacity. By the end of 2008, wind power provided 1.3 percent of total U.S. generation (from all energy sources) up from 0.4 percent in 2004. Total wind capacity stood at 23,847 megawatts at years end, up from just 6,456 megawatts in 2004.
Oregon is ranked seventh in the nation with 5.4 percent of electricity generated coming from wind power. Wind accounted for 42 percent of the new power added nationwide in 2008, the highest level ever.
