Reply to comment by sault18 in [OC] Wind Speed versus Fossil Fuels by Barra79
Wind turbines turn their blades to a full stall position in high wind conditions to prevent damage to the turbine. So if the turbines are not producing electricity at high wind speeds, then more electricity has to be produced using fossil fuels. The wind drought in Germany before Christmas coincided with the coldest weather conditions there this winter.
