to say we cant power our industries with a combination of all of the above is a lie,
especially with the efficiany of wind turbines compared to the space it uses, especially offshore turbines,
the biggest problem with wind power is the high initial cost and the huge amount of manpower pr. MW it takes.
making it time intensive to do in an economic fashion.
See how many quadrillion btu's industry requires.
If we put turbines on every hill in the U.S.A. we would not have enough baseline power. You seem to overlook the simple fact that the wind does not always blow.

yes i know how power intensive industry is,
no one is however talking about a singlwe solution, something you apearantly cant wrap your head around,
in denmark roughly 10% of all electricity is from wind alone, industry included,
with more and more private residences offsetting their mean use with solar or similar alternative energy sources,
its normal for people to use geocaching of heat as well.
when you actually slook at how many options people have im surprised every single private residence is not self sufficiemt with power, in effect i am, i produce far more than i need.
as does my whole family.
when you combine half a dozen solutions you might not be able to power an iron foundry but you do have most of the power needed in the overall picture,
greatly reducing the need for nuclear or fossil fuels.
