The heroic attempt to increasingly rely on unreliable wind power ultimately reveals itself as suicidal.
Driving reliable conventional generators off the grid and hoping that they will be replaced (in substance) by chaotically intermittent wind power comes with a grab bag of consequences.
Rocketing power prices follow as night follows day; the result of incorporating the subsidies that led to wind power generation in the first place, and paying over the market prices for power generated using expensive gas or diesel fuel run through fast-start up Open Cycle Gas Turbines or even internal combustion ship engines, all of which are inefficient and costly to run.
