Weather and wind problems

One of the things we've found out from Maria is that solar and wind are not great in abnormal weather. See the Naguabo Windfarm for exhibit A
















I ran across a story yesterday about weather/renewable problems in Vermont. Vermont is trying to go all "green" with solar and wind energy.

Vermont is also cold in the winter and some winters are colder than others. This is one of those colder winters and they are having trouble supplying enough energy for Vermonters.

Perhaps they should not have closed the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant?

The blog has a lot of other interesting posts. The proprietor, Meredith Angwin, is that ava raris a pro-nuke activist. She also has a background that gives her credibility.
