[QUOTE="Y Fan Wen, post: 7212001, member: 741"] Anticyclones tend to produce sunny days. That's why it is a three pronged approach. Looking at the map, New England is about 10 degrees S of GB so I would think that the balance here would be slightly more in favour of wind against solar. I suppose that is the reason govt. is progressing offshore wind. Would you think GB has better wind characteristics with our prevailing S Westerlies? Maybe this would also mean increased battery capacity to say 50 hours rather than the 40 I mention up thread. From one of my fields in Anglesey I can see about 30 windmills, including one smock mill which has been rebuilt and preserved. It is very rarely that I have seen them at rest (maybe twice?), even when it is totally calm where I'm working. I happened to be processing a hay crop when they were being installed. They took one day to put one up, presumably after the foundations had been poured and cured. [/QUOTE]
