Nevermind the wind that is probably going to kill your range
This is a good point, I wonder what the energy burden is going to be from that. You also need to factor in the impracticality of travel in the winter season (ie, near 0 deg F) in the east, or the very cold desert west of the Continental divide, particulalry at night (which is also extended in the winter).
- protomyth 13y ago> winter season (ie, near 0 deg F) It gets into the negatives for a lot of the winter. As I type this, it is -4F in Sioux Falls (just off I-90) with a mild 5-10mph wind with an expected low of -8F tonight. There are a lot of windmills near I-90 since you can pretty much guarantee a constant wind.
