When the air gets cold and still in the winter, wind power becomes nearly useless.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

It doesn’t look like wind power could get us thru a winter like this anytime soon.
0.9% is actually pretty good. Last week wind contribution was only 0.1% of total demand on several days. Our 2.5GW of installed wind was only generating 1.7% of it’s rated capacity – in the coldest week of the year – when we need it most.
And guess what UK politicians are planning: yes – they’re going to waste billions on tripling wind capacity. So we can look forward to wind generating 0.3% next winter (although our electricity bills will skyrocket)
