Record-breaking wind use in Spain
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain. And sometimes it's windy there, too. So says MetaEfficient, which reported that, for a brief time last Saturday, wind-generated power accounted for 40 percent of all electricity being used in the country. In fact, strong breezes were intercepted by land-based wind farms all weekend.
Spain hopes to triple the power it reaps from renewable energy sources such as wind by 2020.
In service of that goal, the government approved plans for the construction of wind "parks" along the nation's coastline last summer.

I think this is fantastic, is there that much of a disparity on any given day/week that the wind production would fluctuate enough to hit say 40% production with out already being close to that average?
