The Scandinavian's backed off/out of Wind Generation years ago as it ended up being WAY MORE cost prohibitive than "other" forms of energy........IF the Scandinavian's can't make it work THEN it's not going to work......ALL i need to know!!!

As DavidG so eloquently stated, the technology is not there........SO we are being sold on the "Future Gains"........ BUT what is not told IS there are "Very Little" gains left to be made. The percentage limitations of the ability of wind and solar to "convert" the source to energy is 33% for solar and about 60% for wind........Right now solar panels are at about 26% ability and wind generation is at about 45% SO the amount of "Gains" to be made to get to the "maximum" ability's are just about there SO there is relatively "little" left to look "forward" to!!!!!!
