Wind is intermittent, highly variable, and not dispatchable. So it can be only an add-on to other, more reliable sources. And its low density means disproportionate materials and land/sea area requirements along with heavy-duty access roads and powerlines. https://t.co/NZoZQnuBDb

2/ The study used ZIP code for homes to measure "exposure." The median "exposed" home is 6 km from the nearest turbine, and the authors call the analysis "underpowered" closer than 5 km. The study couldn't see the people who report harm, it averaged them out.
