Individual wind turbines and even whole wind farms remain at
the mercy of local weather for how much electricity they can
generate. But researchers have confirmed that linking up such
farms along the entire U.S. East Coast could provide a
surprisingly consistent source of power. In fact, such a setup
could someday replace much of the region's existing generating
capacity, which is based on coal, natural gas, nuclear
reactors, and oil.
