Spain's windfarms set new national record

"In Spain over the weekend the country set a new national record for electricity generation. These high winds supplied 53% of the electricity which is equivalent to the power output of 11 nuclear plants. For more than 5 hours this past Sunday, output from wind power was providing more than half of the electricity being used" (http://www.guardian.co.uk/.). Having to do this assignment, I have had to do tons of research on "energy" period. I have come across articles stating that wind farms are a waste of money and do not produce electricity fast enough, and that these things are not efficient enough for our needs. The wind does not always blow, so I can see why these statements are made, but on the flip side of the coin just look at what happened this weekend in Spain. The results are there. If results like this keep surfacing, It would be beneficial to start building more of these wind farms and cut down on our use of oil and gas around the world. It would help preserve our planet a little longer.
