  • Another reason for Rhode Island (and every other state with wind resources) to build wind farms is to minimize the impact of the intermittency of wind. If the U.S. were to concentrate all its wind farms in one region (e.g., west Texas), they could all stop turning at once. Distributing wind farms across the country increases the odds that at least a few of them are always getting wind. We then need a supergrid to connect them all, but that's another issue.

  • Excellent.

    One suggestion: when discussing "imported" coal, the speaker may want to clarify that he (probably?) means imported into Rhode Island from other states. Viewers in other parts of the U.S. may equate "imported" with "foreign," but the U.S. is a net coal exporter at the moment.
