Electric Windpower Generation Canada.
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?Windpower 23 June 2009 Electric Wind power Generation Canada.
The total installed electric generating capacity of Canada is 111000 Megawatts. Hydroelectric 58%, nuclear 12%, natural gas 6%, fuel oil and coal 3%. This is 98% of the total. The other two percent is generated by a combination of biomass, solar energy, and windmills.
The windmills operate about 18% of the time, and will never be a factor in the big picture. The windmills are on the Canada side of Lake Erie, and when touring most blades were not turning due to lack of wind. At best they are a very expensive sop ( mostly subsidized by the taxpayer) to the green faction, and serve little practical purpose. The statistics speak for themselves.
I got much of this information touring the Canadian side of Lake Erie.
