If I ever get the chunk of land I want, I will put up a wind farm.
It's great for free bursts, and if El Nino keeps getting worse, might
even become reliable here. Storing power is still problematical, but
I have read of 'super' capacitors - on the order of thousands of
farads - that are being developed for electric vehicles. With a
storage plant made of those, we might even be able to tap into the
occasional lightning strike on the wind turbine..
Do you have any more info on the DC link in Minnesota? I would be
interested in reading more about it..
