Re: Wind Lowers Prices: New Scientist (4.00 / 4)

NS made contact after seeing a JaP post saying wind annoyed incumbents by bringing prices down (X-posted on DKos where it was seen).

From first contact to publication, about six weeks.

Editorial input (excellent) was simplification of technical points and slight reduction in length (our first draft was a little over the approximate word count requested, but better that than be short).

The post by Jerome that was noticed is Wind's latest problem: it ... makes power too cheap.

OK. Good. Seems a long time to get it published, but I guess there is also the difficulty of you and J writing the article on busy schedules. After the final edit it was probably a fairly rapid process?

Some delay was caused by the fact that J was travelling all the time if not perched on a windmill in the North Sea. I think there was also a wait for an available slot.
