"Competitors Complain About Wind Unreliability Subsidy"

An article in the Wall Street Journal reports on the debate within the electric power industry about whether it is fair for wind power generators to avoid paying a cost for the lower dependability of wind.

One grievance: Coal, nuclear and gas operators must pay for their own backup if an operational or maintenance problem prevents them from delivering power as promised.

But if wind generators fail to deliver promised power because the wind doesn’t blow, the cost of backing up wind power companies is spread among all the generators, state officials say.
This puts an unfair burden on nonwind generators, says the gas faction."

Wind power is another hoax perpetrated by fools and evil minds.
