[quote user="John WR"] I live in New Jersey, Sam.  Many of my neighbors here and in New York have lost everything--homes, furniture, vehicles--the things they have worked for a life time to have are gone.  To compare this devastation with deliberately foregoing electricity for a measured amount of time leaves me wondering what to think. [/quote] My point was to highlight the fact that people will not voluntarily forgo electric energy and, therefore, wind and solar generation must be backed-up with fossil or nuclear generation capability. The people who were harmed by Sandy can attest, I am sure, to the problems associated by being without electric power for even a relatively short period of time. Those who believe that wind and solar are viable sources of generation without having installed generation to take up the slack when they fail are not being realistic.
