Do weatherproofed wind turbines consume electricity? A common complaint around here is that they need to keep the blades heated to avoid frost and ice buildup, even when the wind is not blowing (we do have a lot of still days in winter).
In bad conditions, if that is still the case, having wind turbines connected to the grid might be worse than having none.
