TX panhandle just about went blackout last August owing to an
unforecasted/undetected wind shift line that shut off virtually all
their wind generation output almost instantly at a peak summer load when
supplying almost 15% of grid up to that point. Managed to load shed and
recover, but it was iffy. Such operational issues aren't on the radar
for the greenies that think all you have to do is have nameplate
generation capacity installed and it's all done.

If they're good greenies they'll take all that into consideration. We
need smart greenies, not just party-line-followers or PR flacks.
