Wind energy cannot replace coal says Virginia miner group
Bill Bledsoe of the Virginia Mining Association argues wind power complements base load coal and nuclear plants rather than replacing them. Dominion Resources and BP Wind Energy announced two wind projects in southwestern Virginia in January 2009, but wind generates about 30 percent of the time and cannot be scheduled. Wind and coal can work together to provide reliable electricity without mutually affecting each other.
