The power that wind provides fluctuates. Whenever wind provides power to the grid it simply puts another power plant on standby. When a power plant is on standby, it still burns its fuel but does not provide power to the grid. It takes days for a power plant to restart, that is why they do not shut them down. So why would you invest in wind if it is just going to put power plants on standby? The only reason a company would invest in it is because they would gain carbon credits and make money at other people’s expense. Relying on wind would cause blackouts.
