I sure would like to have some of the stuff they are smoking while they were writing this report. Windmills only generate power 28 percent of the time. A farm of windmills all work around the same time and stop around the same time. This makes it almost impossible (as Texas just found) to keep the grid stable without a tremendous amount of standby generators. Maybe they figured on the politicians standing in front of the windmills and talking all the time.
