What we’re seeing is a broad shift. Little plants installations, everyday across the country eating away. Bite by bite, plant by plant, state by state. The second tweet below shows a the Southwest Power Pool – a broad groups of states under management of a single ISO – breaking 62% of electricity from wind. That’s not trivial folks.
Remarkable trend in OK over the last 10 years as Wind has displaced coal in the electricity gen mix. @cohan_ds @joshdr83
Recent projects indicate that this trend will become more pronounced in the next few years as wind moves ahead of NG to become the No 1 source in OK. pic.twitter.com/EzbfgLVVtO
