Hi,

Wind is a function of solar radiation and
that has not changed, so I doubt overall wind or the patterns of wind have
changed, or can change.
That isn't quite true. The world's heat engine runs on the temperature

PV also produces roughly 30% of nameplate because the sun shines with peak
intensity around 8 hours per day. However, unlike wind power, PV produces
peak electricity at exactly the moment when demand peaks during

MARTA is installing a 1MW PV solar array at its bus garage at the
intersection of Laredo Dr and E. Ponce de Leon in Decatur (Avondale
Estates) on top of a structural canopy built over the bus parking lot.
The canopy will actually accommodate 2 MW of cells with half to be

As I mentioned, I said I would email the MD of the owner/operator of the 350
ft giant which the article claimed achived 15% of capacity.
Here is his response (N.B. as we have corresponded/messaged before it's really
informal...)
Hi Nick, yep that one is ours. Things worth knowing on this

There are some errors in this article:
The most glaring dishonesty peddled by the wind industry — and echoed by
gullible politicians — is vastly to exaggerate the output of turbines by
deliberately talking about them only in terms of their 'capacity', as if
this was what they actually produce.
