Wind versus Coal

When it comes to power generation, "renewable" still appears to be in the gimmick stage and seems, at best, inefficient when contrasted with tried and true coal.

In the Australian NEM grid, there are 43 wind plants, and around 2400 turbines on poles, and for 14 years they’ve been building them. Despite that, they’re still not delivering enough power to replace a 53 year old tired worn out coal fired plant that can still manage to get all its generators working.
