The same reason people do not take their own trash to the dump, it is cheaper for electrical plants to outsource the wasting of electricity.

- michaelt 11y agoPresumably in a wind turbine you can adjust the pitch of the blades and bring the rotor to a stop. I agree that in the case of a nuclear power plant it's hard to stop generating power if the price goes negative - but if there were no subsidy presumably wind generators could switch off easily if they wanted to.
