wind and solar farms

RE: wind and solar farms
Problem is to run I windfarm you need a reliable power supply coming in to the farm to control them. It's a misconception that they will just work when the wind blows. They need constant monitoring and servicing.

Another major issue is that if we lost power for a reasonable amount of time say a month the turbines would be damaged anyway. When power is lost they switch themselves off, going into a safety mode if you will. If left like like for long periods the bearings get damaged because of the weights and pressures involved.

Your best bet is forgetting about larger turbines and focusing on much smaller models that can be worked on with relative ease.
