Interesting!
You are absolutely correct. You also have to have a power generation unit running at all times, just in case the windmills aren't producing enough, the power generation uses 70% of its energy just running in standby. Not very efficient…
Not to slide, but here we go. I detest windmills, alternative energy is awesome but I absolutely hate those eyesores. I was in Taiwan in 1988 and the mountains were awesome to look at, but at the very top the fucked'em up by putting communication towers on top. At least those had a purpose for the military, not as a pork barrel project.
Praying for your family anon.
