What percentage could we have for the whole of Europe (wind and solar combined) in terms of capacity?
Before my friend gets some abuse about this 25%, may I say that he is trying to get his State (Tasmania) to invest more in renewables (combining with hydro would seem to be a good idea there). He would welcome more wind! Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
By which time technology may have evolved to make it not a problem at all. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
Just think for a moment, over 100% of all electricity in Schleswig-Holstein (which probably includes most of Denmark as well) was for a period from wind. Not one disco was shut because the turntables revolved too slow. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
The stage 1 and stage 2 energy alerts in California (voluntary energy reduction) have worked in the two years I've lived here. So much of it is purely cultural. Low wind and high temps? Just require commercial lighting to turn off at night so the air conditioners can run.
