But that is no argument for not using wind energy during the rest of the year. So we don't have to burn as much natural gas, emitting less CO2.

- martinald 4y agoI agree. But let's be clear, in Europe for the forseeable future installing solar & wind basically 'locks in' natural gas as a backup source. Also, the price of the natgas plant will be much higher than otherwise - if it's only getting used 10-20% of the year, as capex and opex will be spread over a far fewer amount of kWhs.
