46. Placed in the right locations, the wind is pretty reliable.
And with enough wind turbines bussed together over a large enough
area, it's almost a certainty that the wind is blowing somewhere.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126990.500-from...

But that wasn't your initial claim. Your initial claim was that wind
power wasn't up to industrial-sized loads. Have you finally given
up on that claim so now you're trying ing to introduce a new
argument and hope everyone won't notice?

By the way, I've been giving you links/citations along the way
supporting what I'm telling you. Where's your "offer of proof"
to anything *YOU* are claiming?
