Not economically viable?

I'd like to see hard numbers in support of that.

The variability of winds is taken into account when they select sites. There are six different ways to accomodate the variability using storage capacity. Capacitative devices, flywheels, thermal storage, batteries, ggracity lift mechanisms, and mechanical storage, such as by clockwork, come tom ind right off the top of my head.

Once the capital investment is made the cost of production is maintenance only. Free product.

How do you figure this is not economically viable?
