Wind Energy Of No Use In The Pacific Northwest

Wind Energy Of No Use In The Pacific Northwest

In the Pacific Northwest, hydroelectric load-follows wind, wiping out any emissions or cost benefit. Over the last several years, we have spent about $5 billion and impacted over 50,000 acres of pristine public land for the privilege of throwing away 9 billion kWhrs of carbon-free energy every year. We can be smarter than this.
