He decided to begin with the Caribbean, a region heavily dependent upon fossil fuel imports, where highly - polluting diesel generators dominate the electricity sector.

For example, if wind supplied 15 % of the electricity, it would save less than 15 % of fuel because other generators backing up the wind must often run at idle even when the wind is blowing and because their fuel economy suffers when they have to ramp up and slow down to compensate for variability in wind.

«Higher gas prices are rationing consumption by electricity generators, especially owners of combined - cycle plants that operate as baseload and consume large volumes of fuel.

These cost increases could materially increase our costs of operation or limit the availability of electricity or emergency generator fuels.

Due to an increase in demand for natural gas for space and water heating, and limitations imposed by natural gas pipeline constraints, electricity generation from gas was unable to scale up, and the burden was transferred to oil as dual fuel generators switched over.

The one, teensy, weensy problem with the wind industry's «save the planet» pitch is that 100 % of the capacity from intermittent and unreliable wind power has to be backed - up 100 % of the time by fossil fuel generators running in the background and burning fuel ALL the time — and, therefore, increases CO2 emissions in the electricity sector.
