I meant to say: Solar availability and peak power are much better than WIND in the southwest because the peak coincides with the highest demand . . .
In some parts of Europe, you get a lot of wind at night, when you least need electricity. You cannot store wind, coal or nuclear energy, except a small amount with batteries. You can store water or CSP. Earlier CSP installations with stored fluid had natural gas heating for days without sunlight. This one does not. - Jed
