The problem with wind farms is that the wind stops blowing. Canada solved this by building one so long that the wind is always blowing somewhere.

The eastern thrust of the Rocky Mountains acts as a massive natural funnel for chinook winds. Engineers mapped a continuous 2,000-kilometer path along the foothills where those winds average a relentless 9.5 meters per second all year. Then they built a single unbroken corridor of 1,400 turbines.

By stretching the farm across 2,000 kilometers, they created statistical smoothing. The geographic diversity means that when the breeze dies down in one province, it is howling in another. The grid never notices a drop.

The system operates like traditional baseload power. It currently generates enough electricity to cover two-thirds of western Canada’s entire energy demand. Because it displaced the region's heavy reliance on natural gas, household utility bills have dropped by roughly 31 percent.

THANK YOU. *Shauna's post from Seward Announcements: Greetings Seward and Moose Pass Community, It won't be long now! We know some bears have emerged and are out and about. Now is the perfect time to brush up on being bear aware and bear prepared. Together, we can minimize bears getting too nosey by removing attractants, securing trash, scented items and "food" of all types. Here is a great checklist to help get started! If you host overnight guests, seasonal employees, provide visitor information, or are active outdoors--be sure to check out all of the great resources on the [Seward Chamber of Commerce](/groups/188103817919605/user/61558146235168/?__cft__[0]=AZZosBiQ3ARc3FsJwq4bM0bdJRzIhptwEjZ0CPlnABINQiy3TYFr_9xDlBYTXoEYvh6ubr8JX8z0qi0cyqiaCSxFK6IikdJbibLUhjNxtF40_Lvf32D1puHsTEqUc3e5GKFheE3IdDOCxiR0qhjycpHQ&__tn__=-]K-R) website too!
