wind turbines are connected to the Internet, the behind - the - scenes - infrastructure required to funnel all that data is struggling to keep up with the
demand.
As
more electric vehicles hit the road and
more wind turbines start spinning, the
demand for batteries and their raw materials will explode.
As the
demand for sustainable energy rises, see how the
wind industry is responding by building bigger and
more powerful
turbine blades.
When the
wind turbines in Denmark are producing
more power than can be used locally (and indeed «locally» is an oversimplification of how an electric grid works), it flows through the rest of the grid; when they're not meeting local
demand, power flows in from France, Germany, Switzerland, or wherever.
From 40 % of total
demand in Spain to Texas
wind power hitting a peak of 6,272 MW, it's only to be expected that as
more and
more wind turbines go up, utilities around the world will be reporting record breaking amounts of
wind power feeding into the grid.

Jacobson and Delucchi assumed that the bulk of the renewable energy would come from 3.8 million 5MW
wind turbine (that would be 19TW rated capacity) providing half of the global energy
demand at 11.5 TW (that is 28 % utilization which seems to be optimistic and the number I read so far where
more around 10 - 20 % at best).
As German
demand for solar panels and
wind turbines grew, factories across China learned to make the panels ever
more cheaply and the price of panels began to plummet, a freefall that continues to this day.
The shortage has been caused by the increase in the level of
demand for energy combined with a growing tendency to build
wind turbines, at the expense of other,
more reliable, electricity sources.
The

wind turbines or geared models becomes
more prevalent, it says.
All
wind turbines installed by end of 2017 can cover

demand.
A specific case in which envy seems to be a major factor in the development of opposition to a
wind farm is the Ceres Project on SA's Yorke Peninsula, where some potential
turbine hosts

The routine assumption that the analyses put forward of innumerate bloggers are just as valid as (in fact
more valid than) as those of scientists who have devoted their life to the relevant field is one aspect of this, as is the constant
demand to «teach the controversy» on evolution, climate science,
wind turbine health scares, vaccination and so on.
