Reply #120: As your little blurb states right up front, that is just one scenario

[MadHound]

It is one scenario based on 3,000 wind turbines put up a year. It is one that is based solely on the turbine model of wind generation. While that is good for more concentrated energy production, home wind generation doesn't necessarily have to be turbine. Check out this <http://www.humdingerwind.com/>

What I'm trying to show is that your original assertion, that "wind, solar and whatever have zero possibility of ever coming close to satisfying our energy consumption needs" is bullshit. What I have shown you is the sheer potential for wind alone.

Go down to post 115 below and find out just what can be done in the here and now, today, with a decentralized generation system that uses both wind and solar as its backbone. I really don't feel like writing it all out again. Then get back to me and prove that your original assertion is correct.

Somehow I doubt that you can do that.
