Wind generation declined in 2023 for the first time since the 1990s

U.S. electricity generation from wind turbines decreased for the first time since the mid-1990s in 2023 despite the addition of 6.2 gigawatts (GW) of new wind capacity last year.

Harvesting wind power isn''t exactly a new idea – sailing ships, wind-mills, wind-pumps. 1st Wind Energy Systems. – Ancient Civilization in the Near East / Persia – Vertical-Axis Wind-Mill:
Blown away by wind farm “capacity” versus actual output

Despite that huge capacity, actual production has varied widely from a low of 400 MW to a high of 4,400 MW. Plus, all that actual production is intermittent electricity.
The Down Side to Wind Power

"For wind, we found that the average power density — meaning the rate of energy generation divided by the encompassing area of the wind plant — was up to 100 times lower than
Wind Output Falls to a 33-Month Low in July

Despite the installation of more and more wind turbines, wind production declined in July to a 33-month low. Wind production also declined in 2023 from the year before despite 7 gigawatts of
Wind Energy Myths: What the Science Actually Says

Power available in wind is proportional to the cube of wind speed. A small increase in wind speed (from building taller towers) produces a massive increase in available power.
Wind Turbines: Not Green, Not Reliable

Because the wind does not always blow, these turbines are running at maximum power only about 35% of the time. That is low compared with nuclear power plants. Politicians need to reconsider...
Wind Energy Factsheet

Noise levels at a 350m distance from a typical wind farm is 35-45 dB—comparable to a quiet bedroom (35 dB) and quieter than a car traveling 40 mph at 100m distance (55 dB). 29 Multiple studies
