Northwest Hydro Flexes it's Polar-Vortex Muscle and 'Gone Went the Wind'

The question isn't, can you integrate tens-of-thousands of average megawatts of unreliable wind farms into the grid? The question is, should you?

Another 'chilling' article by General Manager, Rick Dunn, about the recent polar vortex and how hydropower showed its strength while windpower showed its weakness. Read it here https://rickdunn.substack.com/p/northwest-hydro-flexes-its-polar

"...the ‘clean’ electricity strategy I continue to endorse for the northwest is to first and foremost keep hydro in place. And then work on a more rational transition from coal to natural gas, and then to nuclear as the foundation. And if there are places wind and solar can be built where people want it, or are at least neutral, then I am willing to compromise."
