Intermittency means that sometimes the wind isn't blowing and other times it might be blowing so strong
that it produces more energy than can be used based on momentary demand. Also, other forms of
energy (nuclear, solar, hydroelectric, fossil fuels) can't be instantly "turned off" so wind cycles can lead to
wasted energy.
What do you think would happen if the utilities in Pennsylvania worked together with the utilities in
Maryland and other surrounding states so that excess electricity could be sold to neighbors who didn't
have as much electricity supply to meet momentary demand?
