I guess this shows how little I understand electricity. My assumption has been that turbines would power batteries from which the flow would be metered into the grid. In my mind the problem of erratic production from the windmills would thus be eliminated by the batteries gaining power during low flow times, and discharging during high flow times, and ceasing to discharge when the battery reached a preset low voltage number. Conversely, when the battery is full the power flow is directly input to the grid. Is this not achievable?
I’m sure it is achievable, but the question is whether or not it’s feasible. What does it take to build a battery system that large? What does it take to keep it stable?
Those are the types of things that make solar/wind power feasible for individuals but not for entire grids.
On another note…

It’s absolutely ridiculous. I would not be surprised if people that have made their living by posting videos have told people to make those type of calls.
For awhile it was a serious fight to keep my children from becoming like that. I was lucky enough to have won that fight. I think the tipping point was when I showed them how much of the world you miss when you’re only seeing it through a 5” screen.
Trump had on Friday launched the digital token with branding including an image from his attempted assassination in July, expanding his cryptocurrency interests that already include World Liberty Financial. Of the total number of tokens, 80% are owned by CIC Digital LLC, which is an affiliate of Trump's business The Trump Organization, and another business called Fight Fight Fight LLC, the token's website says.
Melania Trump launched her own cryptocurrency on Sunday, which was trading at around $12.03, with a market cap of $1.9 billion, at 0820 GMT, according to CoinMarketCap.
"While it's tempting to dismiss this as just another Trump spectacle, the launch of the official Trump token opens up a Pandora's box of ethical and regulatory questions," said Justin D'Anethan, an independent crypto analyst based in Hong Kong.
While the coin represented a blending of the world of decentralised finance (DeFi) into the political arena, it also "blurs the lines between governance, profit, and influence," D'Anethan said.
"Should public figures, especially those with such political clout, wield this kind of sway in speculative markets? That's a question regulators are unlikely to ignore," he said.
Ethics and politicians are two words that don't belong in the same sentence. They all do it for their own interest, power, and wealth. May the pox be on them all. Every last crooked, backstabbing one of them.
Trump’s military deportation flight to Guatemala last Monday likely cost $4,675 per migrant. That’s more than five times the price taxpayers would have paid to send them first class on a commercial airplane.
"A U.S. official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, estimated the cost to operate a C-17 military transport aircraft is $28,500 per hour. The flight back and forth to Guatemala, not including time on the ground or any operations to prepare the flight for takeoff, took about 10-1/2 hours in the air to complete, the official said. A Guatemalan official told Reuters the military transport plane landed on Monday with 64 people on board."

lol, if it’s in the National Archives I can already “pick a record and transcribe it from my own device”.
Pretty bad that they’re acting like it’s a privilege to see those documents to get volunteers to do their job for them.

Politicians have been manipulating and taking advantage of the stock market for years. This is no different….and both are wrong

Is there a viral internet meme that would make this funny or make sense?
It’s from a series of movies
Recommended, though I think the movies started to suck, I enjoyed the series.
Ok, thanks guys

“Likely cost” ?
