Wind turbines can generate considerable power. There are several projects already producing over 100 MW across the globe. The real comparison is the cost to kw or cost efficiency, not that total MW power production.
No, kW just gives you capacity. Cost per kWH, energy produced, is the comparison that counts. Then factor in reliability and the cost to store power when it's generated off-peak to demand on-peak.
“There are several projects already producing over 100 MW across the globe. “
There is over 5,000MW of installed wind power in Texas, we are #1 in the nation in wind power.
It still begs the question - how much should we subsidize wind? Any ‘good’ thing gets ruined by subsidies.
