An all of the above strategy is best, these fucked up progressives in this country want us to go cold turkey. Into renewables that are not refined, reliable or even affordable yet… In the future ya.
There is help wanted signs all over up here in the northern plains, fracking/oil/coal mining are all hiring again... six-figure income jobs with every benefit imaginable and a half a year off, per year, no experience needed. That's what's needed to make America great again…

Alternative energy fact: Texas and other red states still lead the nation in wind farms

Wind power capacity has surpassed hydroelectric as the nation's leading renewable energy, thanks in part to Texas' booming wind farms, according to Department of Energy figures.

The news was announced in Arlington this morning during the release of the American Wind Energy Association's fourth-quarter report. The 6,478 megawatts installed nationally at the end of 2016 was the second best quarter ever. And that was just enough to push wind to the front in renewable capacity, though hydroelectric still produces more electricity.

"It's reliable. It's affordable. It just makes good business sense," said Tom Kiernan, the association's CEO.

He pointed out that the cost of wind energy has dropped by about two-thirds during the past seven years. The industry group's research showed that Texas still leads the nation with triple the capacity of any other state.

A new report analyzing the potential of wind power in the United States has revealed the top 10 states for turbines. The good news: America has more potential than we first thought.

In a report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Albany, N.Y.-based renewable energy consulting firm AWS Truewind, wind turbines in the continental U.S. could generate 37 PWh (petawatt-hours) per year -- far more than the 3,816,000,000 MWh (or about 3.8 PWh) per year currently required to power the nation, as estimated in 2005.

As the price for wind and solar continues to decline, we will cease to have need for burning oil and coal for generation or transportation. The fat clown is just flapping his gums when bragging about either.

Study claims wind turbines are 'expensive and deeply inefficient' | Daily Mail Online



Wind farms 'will never keep the lights on': Study claims turbines are 'expensive and deeply inefficient'

• Wind farms produce 90% of potential power output for only 17 hours a year
• Families and businesses have paid billions to subsidise building of turbines
• Tories have pledged to end subsidies as Britain is set to meet EU targets

|



Wind farms will never be able to ensure the nation’s lights stay on because they are ‘expensive and deeply inefficient’, it is claimed today.

Confirming the long-held fears of many critics, a new study published by the right-leaning Adam Smith Institute and the Scientific Alliance argues the green energy revolution has been an expensive folly.

Researchers found that, on average, wind farms produce 80 per cent of their potential power output for less than one week annually – and they manage 90 per cent output for only 17 hours a year.

Not a fact, dumb ass. Both wind and solar are less costly to install and maintain than fossil fuel plants. Not only that, as grid scale storage comes online, both will be 24/7.

Something revolutionary has just happened to solar power, and it could change everything

“Renewable energy has reached a tipping point – it now constitutes the best chance to reverse global warming,” said Michael Drexler, Head of Long Term Investing, Infrastructure and Development at the World Economic Forum. “Solar and wind have just become very competitive, and costs continue to fall. It is not only a commercially viable option, but an outright compelling investment opportunity with long-term, stable, inflation-protected returns.”

Just ten years ago, generating electricity through solar cost about $600 per MWh, and it cost only $100 to generate the same amount of power through coal and natural gas. But the price of renewable sources of power plunged quickly – today it only costs around $100 the generate the same amount of electricity through solar and $50 through wind.

The Rise of Wind Power in Texas

Natural gas has long been coal’s most formidable competition in Texas. Last year, gas accounted for 44 percent of ERCOT’s electricity generation. Coal and wind represented 29 percent and 15 percent, respectively.

But wind is increasingly competitive. Because turbine operators have no fuel costs, their power is generally dispatched before coal and gas.

ERCOT’s installed wind capacity has nearly doubled since 2010, leaping from 9,400 megawatts seven years ago to 18,589 MW today. In 2015, wind surpassed nuclear to become the grid operator’s third-largest power source.

And ERCOT’s installed capacity could surpass 28,000 MW by next year if all the projects with interconnection agreements with the grid operator are built.

Looks like the utilities do not share that view.
