Y-yeah, that’s my point. The fact that there are no batteries means that instead of considering how it operates with a dirty battery (the only other option here), we consider how it works without any reliability.

Of course wind is green. It’s one of the simplest techs out there. It’s just mostly worthless if you don’t live in a wind tunnel. Even then, it’s unreliable. At best, as I said, this is a funsie project so Minnesota doesn’t have to buy from, say, Texas. I don’t think Minnesota is avoiding any international conflicts here, but maybe I’ve missed something. How would an unreliable fertilizer station get you away from conflicts anyways? “Well Tuesday was windy so we didn’t need to go to war for it, but today it’s dead so let’s bomb Iran” lol.

If you think the strait of Hormuz conflict is some reason for every nation to leave behind globalism, I don’t think you understand the whole idea behind globalism. It’s not that there will never be issues. It’s that we face them together.
