Since the vast wind turbine arrays produce a scant amount of power, at times when it is not in demand, or too much of it so that the existing grid can not accommodate it causing some of the wind plants to shut down and dump the electricity produced, there must be some other overriding reason for the increasing proliferation of «wind farms» both on - shore and off - shore.

Efficiency is very important in the case of fossil fuel power stations because fossil fuels are a finite resource — once we use them they are gone — and when burned they produce carbon dioxide and other substances that kill people and cause climate change and ocean acidification; so it is very important to get as much electricity as we possibly can per tonne of fossil fuel.
