• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I've heard some of the wind farms were built but had no way to get the electricity to the grid. I believe Boone Pickens abandoned his desire to build one because of that or he couldn't get the gov't to pay for moving the electricity to the grid.
All three of you are correct to different degrees. Electricity flows the path of least resistance.
If a plant built in 1969 is running its likely a marginal unit with a high heat rate or a peaker depending on where you live.
Wind as a primary source of electricity is not sustainable and you can argue it’s not really renewable given what it takes to create.
infrastructure / transmission is a real issue as well as storage.
All renewables receive subsidies (recs, ptc rins)without that they make even less sense
. Wait till you see the subsidies for the 500000 charging stations they want to build. Biogas to EC is the next new tax on people who refuse or cannot afford to go electric vehicles

@Jayhox DM me what you do- sounds like we know each other or at least have many mutual friends

Something similar. While going through training in the Navy our class was being taught by a Navy nurse. She mentioned Caesarean Section. One guy asked what that was. Before the nurse could answer, a guy sitting immediately in front of the nurse turned around and said, "That's what happens when her trap ain't big enough."

The nurse went ballistic. Never saw that person again.
