UPDATED: For seven days in a row, SaskPower saw wind generation hit zero for part of the day
The story originally said five days. SaskPower got back to me and noted the streak continued Jan. 7 and 8 as well. So that’s a whole week with wind flatlining. Total, complete flatline for part of the day, each day. How do you power the hospital my wife is an ER nurse at with zero power? Inquiring minds would like to know?

That’s the reason why we need to build more windmills to make up for the ones that are temporarily nonproductive. Of course we need to build them in a different place because after all the wind always blows somewhere.
A world of stupid.
Not sure if @Bucky is being sarcastic or not. But here’s a few examples of wind failing in enormous swaths of land. https://pipelineonline.ca/wind-bottoms-out-spp/

Utter incompetence.
I like to see the Wind blow so hard it makes those Wind Turbines Explode
