Jim Proctor on 23 Sep 10Here's an interesting quote from BPA: "In the interest of getting as much wind on the system as we can, it's important to find other resources.'' This article clarifies how the upturn in wind production is driving an upturn in other (often conventional) sources of energy, and how, ironically, wind energy will be more stable once much larger energy systems (read: lots of powerlines) are built. Wind, the icon of energy self-sufficiency, actually may depend on mega-networks and conventional sources to achieve its rightful place.
