They deliver a fraction of promised capacity-----Wind Energy once again displays it spasmodic and undependable nature

Wind Energy once again displays it spasmodic and undependable nature
"Another couple of warm (not hot) summer days here in Ontario on July 16th and 17th and guess what?
If you guessed those IWT (industrial wind turbines) were basically unreliable and failed to deliver what the eco-warriors believe in, you were absolutely right!

• Those IWT on July 16th at Ontario’s peak demand of Hour 17 (hour ending at 5 PM), generated 158 MW or 0.8% of the peak demand of 19,999 MW. 
• That 158 MW represented 3% of their capacity at that hour but much earlier in the day they reached their high for the day at 3 AM when they generated 444 MW or 9% of their capacity. 
• At 9 AM however when demand is increasing, they once again hit their low point generating only 44 MW or 0.9% of their capacity. 
• In total those IWT generated 4,906 MW over the full 24 hours and that represented only about 4.2% of their capacity.

Fortunately for all of us Ontario’s natural gas plants were available to ramp up at 9 AM and generated 1,309 MW and at the Hour 17 peak for the day generated 4,483 MW.
July 17th...
