I just returned from a week in Wyoming, the state that produces the most coal. I drove over 1000 miles and for about 700 of those miles there was a wind farm in view.

We have done an annual round trip drive between Memphis and Albuquerque on I40.
For a long stretch, but not 700 miles, there is a wind farm. Never seen more than a few dozen turning.

The problem is, the electricity is needed when it is needed, regardless of when the wind happens to blow. Same for solar.

The are major transmission losses when moving electricity long distances, so wind power in Wyoming doesn't do Dallas any good.
