16. Seems to me that the real problem

is the economics of redundancy.

If you put one windmill on every square km across the whole US, sure you'd have enough power for everyone, but wouldn't it be cheaper to say, build solar thermal plants for the cost per actual kilowatt? :shrug:

Wind is a flaky form of energy, methinks.
