Reply #75: Wind turbines are the way to go. You'll note that the Japanese wind farms

are still generating completely safely.

In my own area, one single wind farm of 300 acres generates enough electricity for this town of 100,000+.

This is today's technology. Last fall, there were several days when wind turbines accounted for 25% of all Texas electrical production. And now that three huge transmission lines are being completed, thousands of generators in place but offline can start turning as well.

On the other hand, during the last huge cold snap in Texas, more than 50 natural gas and coal plants were offline because their cooling pipes froze.
