When I saw this topic, I thought you meant the wind generator failure in texas over the weekend, where the wind in the panhandle suddenly dropped and texas nearly went into rolling blackouts. They were saved by... (drumroll, please) thousands of small diesel generators! Which fired up at industrial sites across the state and took up the delta from the 4% of the state electric load the wind turbines normally provide.
I look forward to seeing 20% of our energy provided by wind and solar...
