Wind turbine insurance companies claim the new ultra big generation of wind turbines are failing at an alarming rate.

Look at this junk, it's a miracle the power grid doesn't collapse. This is PNM.






Over the course of several hours wind goes from producing nothing to 1.6gw on a typical day. There's no way this is cheaper, probably why PNM wants to raise rates 14%.
At least solar is fairly predictable.
