Further, when wind turbines are not turning, one needs to quick-start a gas-fired generator to avoid damage to the grid when output plummets (an equilibrium must be maintained for the system to work). Often, the fuel burned (using fossil-fuels, of course) in these back-up generators will offset any carbon savings gained by the wind turbine.
If you read about the Danish and German experiences with wind generation, you will see much of the same thing.
In my opinion, nuclear energy, geothermal and hydro-electricity are the only viable alternatives to fossil fuels at this point. Solar is better than wind in terms of reliability, but still way underperforming (their output is measured in KW).
However, there are HUGE profits to be made in wind farming. I mean, why do you think T. Boone Pickens is investing in it? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

BTW, I should make clear that I DON'T agree with Mr. Moreno about the causes or existence of climate change. I think warming is happening, and we must take action to ameliorate our damage.
I just agree with him about wind farming and some other bogus kinds of "alternative" energy sources.
