At no time did I say we could replace all generation with wind power. I do think it needs to be part of a generation portfolio. It is a relatively new technology. As time goes on I think storage solutions will be developed that will allows us to economically store the power produced by wind during off peak hours and use it when the demand is highest. However, until then we need a mix of generation types.
