You said earlier no one was talking math concepts, well real data talks and BS walks.

These are the production numbers from the wind turbines in Denmark (dont worry there is english in the spreadsheet), of which Denmark has 20% of their grid comprised of wind, the largest in the world.

If you scroll to the far right it shows the sum for each month (for 2007) for a turbine, if you then scroll down you can see the total monthly production. THIS IS MUST SEE FOR THOSE WHO SAY THE AVERAGES WILL WORK THEMSELVES OUT!
