WIND - The Wind Power In Spain Mainly Cuts Carbon

Mirroring a recent report out of the U.S., researchers in Spain are reporting that “cycling” – the ramping up and down of fossil-fuel-burning power plants in response to intermittent wind power – doesn’t much hinder wind power’s ability to trim greenhouse gas emissions.Was there some impact from cycling? Yes, the researchers said – at high rates of wind penetration. But even then, the GHG reductions remained “significant.”Part of the El Segredal ...
