NYTimes.com - Wind Power Unreliable? Build More Turbines

A new study of wind integration... argues that the capacity value of windmills could be improved by building even more of them, spreading them out geographically, and connecting them with a strong grid. The reason is that the wind is always blowing somewhere, and if it can be averaged over a bigger area, the minimum amount of energy available will rise.
